Mother, daughter die in Lanao floods

-

Tubod, Lanao del Norte – A mother and her two-year-old daughter died while two others remained missing after flash floods swept through a hinterland town in this province following days of heavy rains, the Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council said.

The fatalities were identified as Macagila Maguinda, 35, and her daughter Fatima, and the two missing as Didaro Maliawao, 62, and Pasawangan Binasing, 63.

The flash floods in Sitio Dipa, Barangay Mangan in Nunungan town forced some 30 families to seek shelter in safer areas.

In Munai town, meanwhile, floodwaters destroyed water tanks, causing an increase in gastrointestinal cases among evacuees there, regional health authorities said.   – Lino de la Cruz
