Rescuers dig for survivors in new Philippine landslide
Rescuers were digging through a landslide that buried at least 10 homes and killed three people in the central Philippines Thursday, as monsoon rains unleashed more misery on the already-battered country.
The new tragedy comes just days after 2018's most powerful storm, Typhoon Mangkhut, raked the nation's north, sparking a separate landslide that left dozens dead.
People weep next to the bodies of victims of a landslide in Naga City, on the popular tourist island of Cebu
Emergency workers in yellow helmets rushed to the scene of the new disaster in the town of Tina-an on the popular tourist island of Cebu.
Days of heavy monsoon rains caused a steep slope to collapse and now searchers are frantically looking for survivors.
Rescuers dug through debris and thick mud at the site of the slide. Injured survivors were wheeled into the back of ambulances and the dead were laid on pews at a local church.
