Manila, Sun, 18 Dec 2011 ANI

Manila, Dec 18(ANI): Rescuers are continuing the search for survivors after floods killed over 400 people and left many others missing in Philippines.

 

According to the BBC, naval vessels are scouring the coast along the island of Mindanao while soldiers searched swollen rivers.

 

Officials said many bodies remained unclaimed, suggesting entire families had been swept away.

 

The flash floods were triggered by a tropical storm that coincided with high tides, trapping many in their homes.

 

The major ports of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan were among the areas worst hit on Friday. (ANI)
