    Typhoon victims rest inside a gymnasium turned into a temporary evacuation center in Navotas city, north of Manila, Philippines, on October 4. President Benigno Aquino III and his cabinet have created rehabilitation plans for the areas affected by the recent typhoons Nesat and Nalgae. According to the Office of Civil Defense, typhoon Nalgae has so far left one person dead, while 57 people died and 30 were missing in typhoon Nesat's onslaught, which also flooded central Manila.

    Evacuees take temporary shelter inside the Mother of Perpetual Help Church in Hagonoy, Bulacan province, the Philippines, on October 4. Rescue helicopters and boats distributed food, water and medicine to thousands of Filipinos marooned in flooded towns north of the capital on Monday and authorities said water levels were starting to recede. Wide areas of rice-producing Bulacan and Pampanga provinces have been submerged since late last week after the Philippines was hit by two typhoons. A third storm may develop this week.

    Filipinos return to a coastal district to rebuild houses damaged by typhoons in Navotas City, north of Manila, Philippines, Oct. 2. Philippine rescue teams struggled to reach thousands of residents trapped in flooded northern provinces after two typhoons, Nesat and Nalgae, battered the country in a week. According to the Office of Civil Defense, typhoon Nalgae has so far left one person dead, while 57 people died and 30 were missing in typhoon Nesat's onslaught, which also flooded central Manila.

    Philippines walloped by back-to-back typhoons

    msnbc.com news services report:

    Rescuers scrambled Sunday to deliver food and water to hundreds of villagers stuck on rooftops for days because of flooding in the northern Philippines, where back-to-back typhoons have left at least 59 people dead.

    Typhoon Nalgae slammed ashore in northeastern Isabela province Saturday, then barreled across the main island of Luzon's mountainous north and agricultural plains, which were still sodden from fierce rain and winds unleashed by a howler just days earlier. Nalgae left at least three people dead Saturday. Typhoon Nesat killed 56 others and left 28 missing in the same region before blowing out Friday.
