Typhoon Bopha: Fears for Philippines missing
The number of people missing after Typhoon Bopha struck the southern Philippines has risen to more than 800, with 620 confirmed dead.
The number of missing had risen dramatically because contact was lost with 300 fishermen at sea, Civil Defence chief Benito Ramos said.
Rescuers are continuing to search parts of Mindanao island devastated by the typhoon on Tuesday.
