Summary
Typhoon Gaemi has hit China's south-eastern coast, state media reports, after wreaking havoc in Taiwan and the Philippines
Three people died and hundreds more were injured when the storm passed over Taiwan earlier, while authorities in the Philippines say at least 21 people have died due to flooding and landslides
There has been particular devastation on the water, with officials rushing to contain an oil spill from a capsized ship near the Philippines
The MT Terra Nova sank in the Manila Bay while carrying 1.5 million litres of industrial fuel, prompting fears that it could be the worst oil spill in Philippine history - if not contained
Meanwhile, rescuers in Taiwan are scouring waters off its southern coast for six crew members of a sunken cargo ship - three have reportedly been found alive onshore
China was braced for the storm and had activated its highest-level disaster warning ahead of Gaemi's arrival
