A massive blaze tore through Manila’s historic Central Post Office late Sunday.

The Philippines is grappling with food insecurity amid natural disasters and global price rises.

Much of the Philippines is on high alert as a super typhoon begins lashing the country's eastern islands.

The blaze destroyed 80 homes after tearing through a crowded settlement near the capital Manila.

At least eight people have died in the blaze on the city's outskirts, including six children.

The number of fatalities rises rapidly to at least 375, as the Red Cross appeals for urgent aid.
