The dire situation in Cebu, Philippines, continues to unfold as the death toll from the recent landfill collapse has risen to four, with rescue operations persistently ongoing. The tragedy struck the Binaliw landfill last Thursday, trapping dozens of workers and causing significant destruction to on-site facilities.
Mayor Nestor Archival of Cebu City provided updates, stating that four fatalities had been confirmed and 12 individuals were hospitalized in the wake of the collapse. At the heart of the efforts, rescue authorities are deploying a 50-ton crane to meticulously excavate areas where signs of life have been detected.
Amid this tragedy, families of the missing maintain hope. Jerahmey Espinoza, among those awaiting news, expressed determination in finding her husband alive. As 36 people remain unaccounted for, the situation remains critical as rescue teams diligently work against time.
