ISTANBUL (AA) – Typhoon Doksuri affected over two million people in the Philippines, and the death toll from disaster-related incidents has risen to 51, including 26 people who died in a boat sinking incident.

The latest details shared by the Philippines National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council on Monday showed that 20 people are still missing, while around 52 others are injured.

The archipelago nation was hit by the southwest monsoon, or “habagat,” daily Inquirer reported.
