Typhoon Egay: Damage, recovery, relief efforts in the Philippines

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Typhoon Egay (Doksuri), the Philippines’ fifth tropical cyclone for 2023, battered Northern Luzon with intense rain and destructive winds.

Egay was a super typhoon at its peak, then was downgraded back to a typhoon just hours before it hit land. It made landfall in Fuga Island, Aparri, and in Dalupiri Island, Calayan – both in Cagayan province – on Wednesday, July 26.

The typhoon also enhanced the southwest monsoon or habagat.
