ITN's Jane Deith reports. Warning: The story contains some disturbing images.By NBC News wire servicesMANILA, Philippines -- Blocked roads and severed communications in the southern Philippines frustrated rescuers on Wednesday as teams searched for hundreds of people missing after the strongest typhoon this year killed at least 283 people.
Stunned parents searched for missing children while officials warned the death toll from Typhoon Bopha would likely rise.
Hardest hit was the southern island of Mindanao, where Bopha made landfall on Tuesday. It triggered landslides and floods along the coast and in farming and mining towns inland.
Interior Minister Manuel Roxas said 300 people were missing.
"Entire families were washed away," Roxas told reporters.
