Weather of Arabia - The death toll from Typhoon Mangkhut in the Philippines rose to 49 dead Sunday, according to what the police announced, according to police spokesman Benigno Durana.

He said, "Christopher Joe," presidential adviser: The Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte plans to visit the northern provinces hit by the typhoon, and will inspect the situation and assess the damage caused by Mangkhut.

Typhoon Mangkhut moved out of the Philippines, yesterday evening, Saturday, after hitting the northern Luzon region with heavy rains and strong winds, which caused power and communications outages.

Filipino rescuers deployed to the hardest hit rural and mountainous areas. The wind speed reached 330 km/h in some places

The hurricane, which is considered the most violent in the world since the beginning of the year, swept agricultural areas in the north of Luson Island, causing floods and landslides.

The Philippines is exposed every year to about twenty hurricanes that kill hundreds of people and exacerbate poverty and destitution.

The typhoon is heading for densely populated areas in southern China, after wreaking havoc in Hong Kong.
