December 08, 2014 09:46

Typhoon Hagupit has weakened as it continues to slowly sweep across the Philippines.

At least three people have been killed since the storm made landfall on Saturday but it does not appear to have been as severe as many had feared.

Around a million people have taken shelter in evacuation centres. But Hagupit is nowhere near as powerful as Typhoon Haiyan, which killed thousands of people last year, reports BBC.
