A truck swept by floodwaters brought about by Typhoon Gaemi is seen on July 25, 2024 in Quezon city, Metro Manila, Philippines. Monsoon rains, intensified by Typhoon Gaemi, have caused flooding and landslides throughout the Philippines, resulting in at least 22 deaths and displacing over 600,000 people. The typhoon, which also left two dead in Taiwan, did not make landfall in the Philippines but enhanced monsoon rains. In the region around the capital Manila, government work and schools were suspended due to severe overnight flooding. (Photo by Ezra Acayan/Getty Images)
