Typhoon Koppu hits Philippines hard, 23000 homeless

Typhoon Koppu has slammed into the main Philippines island of Luzon, killing at least three. So far around 23000 people are forced to leave their homes and chose a safe place. The powerful typhoon tore down the trees and houses and unleashed landslides and floods across a wide area of the Philippines. Troops have been deployed to help residents trapped on rooftops but rising flood waters are preventing even military vehicles reaching many of the worst-hit villages.
