Typhoon Washi Claims Over One Thousand Lives

Bodies are lined up in neat rows, the casualties of a massive typhoon that ravaged the southern Philippines.

More than 1,000 people are dead from landslides and flash flooding last weekend.

Rescuers say they're working to recover bodies while desperately searching for hundreds still missing.

In the meantime, they are preparing bodies that have been identified for burial.

[Dr. Tammy Uy, Medical Legal Officer]:              

"Our plan is to place them all in body bags so they won't be sprawled on the ground, while those documented will be buried."

The typhoon swept away countless homes on the island of Mindanao, and forced tens of thousands to flee.
