Many people have died in Philippine floods. (By the BBC)

I was reading an article in the BBC and this piece of news was the one that really called my attention. It is really sad, but these floods are a consequence of human behaviour.
These floods are taking place in Manila, where at least the whole town is completely under water. Power has been cut off to parts of the capital. Moreover, hundreds of people are trapped on rooftops.
Television pictures showed water flowing down roads like rivers, with the floods chest- deep and rising.
At least fifty people have been killed and thousands more are evacuated.
The Philippine’s President appealed for donations and called for calm, and she told people that they have to follow the instructions of local officials and civil defence authorities.
