so, the threat from typhoon mangkhut has not abated yet. the east coast of the united states is facing an "epic amount of rainfall," particularly in north and south carolina where at least eleven people have died as a result of storm florence. many people in the area have been moved to safety and those that have attempted to return home are being urged not to, as further flooding is on the way. our north america correspondent chris buckler reports. this storm has left streets submerged across north carolina. towns along the coast and now inland have become badly flooded, leaving rescue teams as the only route to safety for some families. from the air, you get a better sense of the scale of the problems here, and during the brief breaks in the weather, this has been the most effective way of getting people out of cut—off areas like new bern. driving conditions are increasingly difficult. motorists have been advised to avoid this state completely if they can. and new evacuation warnings have come into force for more of these carolinan towns

typhoon mangkhut has made landfall on the northern tip of the main island of luzon. five million people are thought to be in the path of this potentially deadly storm. authorities had already urged thousands of people to move inland from vulnerable coastal areas. in nearby santa ana, local officials aren't taking any chances. this village school has been turned into an emergency shelter. translation: there is a tendency for landslides in this area in the past, so a village council has advised them to get out early. the philippines endures about 20 typhoons and storms each year, mangkhut is the strongest storm of 2018 so far. it's more than 500 miles in diameter, with sustained winds of over 160 miles an hour. we're around 100 miles away from where this storm is about to hit hardest. already, the winds are up and it's been raining heavily. as you can see, most people have heeded the warnings to stay inside and wait for this potentially devastating typhoon to pass. let's talk to alexandra pura. she's christian aid's country directorfor the philippines and is on the gro

yes, it has been 16 hours since typhoon mangkhut made landfall. and because of the coverage of this typhoon, it covers 23 provinces along the eastern seaboard and in the northern portion. some of these areas are mountainous areas along the coast, not very accessible from town centres. we are only starting to receive initial reports now and looking to having a more complete picture, maybe in another day or two. and what do you think the priority is going to be for oxfam, for the help that you can give to people? what will you be focusing on? in this case, we will of course be having the focus primarily in the first two days on life—saving needs, considering the number of displaced families, there are already more than 50,000 scattered across more than 50,000 scattered across more than 700 evacuation centres. there will be needs for also access to water purification tablets to make sure that they are supported. there will be need for water and hygiene kits and kitchen essentials to make their lives more tolerable. but also, although that will be o

it's been 16 hours since mangkhut made landfall. because of the coverage of this typhoon, it covers 33 provinces along the eastern seaboard and in the northern portion of luzon. some of these areas are mountainous areas, along the coast, not very accessible from town centres. we are only starting to receive initial reports now and looking to having a more complete picture, maybe in another day or two, even. we will of course have the focus primarily in the first few days on life—saving needs. considering the number of displaced families, already more than 50,000 scattered across more than 700 evacuation centres, there will be needs for access to water purification tablets to make sure there is drinkable water. there will be need for water and hygiene kits, kitchen essentials to make their lives more tolerable in the evacuation centres. but also, although that will be over the next few days, we think that given the strength, the power of the typhoon, the heavy winds and rain that there would be considerable damage to shelter, to ho
