The death toll from a landslide in the Philippines rises to 37. Rescue teams continue their work despite declining hopes of finding more survivors.
The landslide occurred on Tuesday evening outside a gold exploration site in the city of Maco in Davao de Oro province. This region has witnessed heavy rains in recent weeks, leading to floods and landslides.. Search and rescue operations faced obstacles due to heavy rain, mud, and the possibility of more landslides, an official said. Asked if there were still survivors, Edward Makabele said it was "unlikely" but the search would continue.
