During the past several days, the storm has passed over the Philippines, Taiwan and mainland China, leaving a trail of destruction. High winds, flooding and mudslides have left thousands in need of emergency shelter. In Taiwan, 50,000 people are stranded and flooding has submerged many homes. In China nearly 1 million people have been evacuated in the Fujian Province while 13,000 people have been displaced in the Zambales Province in the Philippines with authorities describing the situation as a calamity.
Typhoon Morakot has brought with it a record amount of rainfall with close to 2.5 metres falling on Taiwan. ShelterBox is providing emergency disaster relief on all three fronts.
