Typhoon Gaemi worsened seasonal rains in the Philippines causing heavy flooding and landslides and a freighter to sink off the southern coast of Taiwan. Another oil products tanker has also sunk off the Philippines.
Two ships have sunk, one of which was carrying millions of litres of oil, after a typhoon swept through Taiwan and Philippines leaving 25 dead and hundreds injured. China has raised the alert status of its coastline in preparation for Typhoon Gaemi to strike, with the storm's centre now approaching Fujian province. It was the strongest typhoon to hit Taiwan in eight years when it struck overnight with gusts of up to 141mph killing three people, although it is now weakening.
A second ship, oil products tanker MT Terra Nova, sank off the coast of Bataan province in the Philippines. It was loaded with about 1.4 million litres of industrial fuel oil. Rescuers saved 15 of 16 crew members. In the Philippines, Typhoon Gaemi worsened seasonal rain with heavy flooding and landslides leaving 22 people dead. Homes and businesses were destroyed across the two countries.
