Most of the deaths were reported in the central province of Cebu, which was pummeled by Kalmaegi on Tuesday, according to a local official.

Typhoon Kalmaegi left at least 66 people dead with 26 others missing in the central Philippines, many in widespread flooding that trapped people on their roofs

Typhoon Kalmaegi left a trail of death and devastation as it tore through the central Philippines this week, reducing entire neighborhoods to rubble and displacing tens of thousands of people.

Six people died when a Philippine air force helicopter crashed in southern Agusan del Sur province during a humanitarian mission, according to the AP and Reuters. Their bodies have since been recovered. The worst-hit region is the island of Cebu, where local authorities reportedly said 39 people died either by drowning or falling debris.
