More than 180 people are reported to have been killed as a tropical storm swept through the southern Philippines, with dozens more missing.

Storm Tembin brought flash flooding and mudslides to parts of Mindanao island.

Tembin, with winds of up to 80km/h, has passed across Mindanao and reached the resort island of Palawan, and will now move further west.

The Philippines suffers regularly from deadly tropical storms.

A week ago, Tropical Storm Kai‑Tak hit the central Philippines, killing dozens.

The region is still recovering from Typhoon Haiyan, which killed more than 5,000 people and affected millions in 2013.
