Cebu Landfill Collapse Reduces Chances of Finding Survivors

Rescue teams in Cebu, Philippines, are actively searching for victims after a large landfill collapsed, leading to a tragic loss of life.

Authorities have confirmed that the death toll has risen to seven, with at least 29 individuals still unaccounted for.

More than 72 hours have passed since the disaster, a critical timeframe for locating survivors, and hopes of finding anyone alive in the debris are diminishing.

This incident has highlighted the dangers associated with illegal landfills in the Philippines, where many residents live nearby or depend on these sites for recyclable materials, making them vulnerable to such disasters.
