A Filipino woman tenderly caressed her five-day-old daughter on Thursday as she recounted how she had given birth on the roof of a submerged medical clinic at the height of the storm and floods that killed more than 1,000 people.
Annaliza Tumanda said she, her husband and three children — aged 3 to 8 — swam from their destroyed home in Cagayan de Oro to a neighbor's three-story house. She went into labor on Saturday morning and was brought by rescuers to the roof of a health center, where she gave birth to a healthy 6.6 pound baby.
