Floods in the Philippines forced the evacuation of nearly 46,000 people from their homes.

At least 11 people were killed and 19 others missing after a week’s worth of heavy seasonal rain in the southern and eastern regions of the country, they said yesterday, updating earlier official figures.

“The heart of the city was flooded including the public market. Power was cut off and there was no signal,” he said, referring to Oroquieta, the provincial capital with 72,000 residents. The coastguard said it rescued members of more than two dozen families in Ozamiz and nearby Clarin town at the height of the flooding.

The coastguard also said strong winds and big waves sank a fishing boat on Christmas Day off the coast of the central island of Leyte. Two crew members were killed, while six others were rescued.
