Tropical Storm Ketsana has left chaos in its wake as it crossed the Philippines, triggering massive floods.
A huge rescue operation swung into action to save people trapped on rooftops and on half-submerged vehicles.
Many made their own way to safety, like these men pulling their skiff through the waters using telegraph wires east of the capital Manila.
Others were not so lucky. These rescue workers pulled bodies from flooded buildings in Marikina City as the death toll passed 50 with more than 21 still missing.
Evidence of the powerful flash floods triggered by heavy rainfall are everywhere.
These bedraggled dogs are among the lucky ones, carried to safety through the rising waters by their owner.
As the waters began to recede, homeowners and shopkeepers began the gruelling task of clearing away tons of mud.
The mud is everywhere, coating shoes and clothing as residents in the Philippines struggle to return to normality.
