Rescuers race to find dozens missing after deadly landfill collapse in Philippines
In a tragic incident today, a landfill in the Philippines collapsed, leaving dozens of people missing. The collapse occurred in the city of Manila at the Smokey Mountain landfill, a known site for scavengers looking for recyclable materials. It is reported that a significant portion of the landfill caved in, trapping an unknown number of individuals underneath the debris.
Rescue teams, including local authorities and volunteers, are working tirelessly to locate and extract those missing. The Philippines National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) has been coordinating the rescue efforts, with heavy machinery deployed to clear the rubble cautiously to prevent further harm to any potential survivors.
