平安夜難平安：菲律賓熱帶風暴數百人遇難
熱帶風暴“天秤”給菲律賓南部島嶼造成的破壞超出預期：目前已有至少200人死亡，還有百餘人失踪，數万人流離失所。而禍不單行的是，週六在達沃市發生的一場火災又造成數十人遇難。
（德國之聲中文網）週日，在菲律賓南部遭受熱帶風暴襲擊之後，救援人員仍在搜尋倖存者。截至目前至少有200人死亡，還有多人下落不明，數万民眾無家可歸，而且他們當中大多數人無視警告，拒絕轉移到安全地帶。
熱帶風暴"天秤"（Tembin）週五登陸菲律賓南部的棉蘭老島，帶來了強風和強降雨，還有洪水和泥石流。據警方通報，目前還有144人失踪。據國際紅十字會和紅新月會統計，總共有7萬人被緊急疏散或者是以其它方式受到影響。
菲律賓平均每年要經歷大約20場熱帶風暴的侵襲，相關的警報也時有發出，但是這次"天秤"所造成的破壞程度仍然出乎人們預料。
"這一切發生得非常快，洪水一下子就淹沒了我們的房子"，65歲的農民雅巴爾薩巴爾（Felipe Ybarsabal）對路透社記者講述道，自己和家人不得不跑到地勢較高的地方避難。
"房子裡的東西，我們什麼都沒帶出來。沒有人來幫助我們，因為洪水來得太快了。在一個小時之內，水位就升高了兩三米。"
警察和救災官員表示，預計遇難人數還會升高，因為隨著救援工作的進行和通訊電力的恢復，在一些偏僻的農村以及海岸區域可能還會有更多死者被發現。
救災官員還表示，很多村民無視當局發出的警報，拒絕離開沿岸和河床區域，在洪水和泥石流突然來襲的時候被捲走。
熱帶風暴"天秤"週日繼續向西推移，從其它的菲律賓島嶼過境之後，穿越南中國海海域，以每小時20公里的速度向越南南部方向前進。
菲律賓氣象部門通報稱，"天秤"在離開菲律賓管轄區域之後已經加強成為時速120公里的颱風。
在基督徒佔多數的菲律賓，這個聖誕節的前夕可謂禍不單行：發生在一座購物商城裡的火災又造成了至少37人死亡。
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.
Two towns badly hit were Tubod and Piagapo, where a number of homes were buried by boulders.
Tembin, with winds of up to 80km/h (50 mph), has passed across Mindanao and reached the resort islands of Palawan, and will now move further west.
The Philippines suffers regularly from deadly tropical storms, although Mindanao is not often hit.
Tembin, known as Vinta in the Philippines, started lashing Mindanao on Friday, with a state of emergency declared in some areas including the Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur regions.
Regional officials quoted by the Rappler website said there were 127 fatalities in Lanao del Norte, up to 50 in the Zamboanga peninsula and at least 18 in Lanao del Sur.
Tubod police officer Gerry Parami told the AFP news agency that there had been at least 19 deaths in the town, which is in Lanao del Norte. The remote village of Dalama was wiped out by flash floods.
"The river rose and most of the homes were swept away. The village is no longer there," he said.
He said volunteers were digging through mud to try to recover bodies in the village.
Another official told AFP that at least 10 people had died in the town of Piagapo, 10km east of Tubod.
"We've sent rescuers but they're making little progress," Saripada Pacasum said.
More deaths were reported in the towns of Sibuco and Salug.
