"Fatal Landslide in Davao de Oro, Philippines Claims 68 Lives"
The death toll from a landslide in the village of Masara in the Philippines has risen to 68, with 51 people still missing and little hope of finding survivors. A three-year-old girl was miraculously rescued after being buried for over 60 hours, but officials now assume no one else is alive. The landslide, which occurred in Davao de Oro province, destroyed 55 homes and resulted in over 30 injuries. Heavy monsoon rains and earthquakes have compounded the region's challenges, with landslides being a frequent hazard due to the mountainous terrain and deforestation.
