YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In the Philippines, rescuers are using heavy machinery, sniffer dogs, and even their bare hands to search for survivors a day after an earthquake killed at least 69 people and injured hundreds more. The 6.9-magnitude quake struck Tuesday night around 10:00 p.m. local time off the coast of the central province of Cebu.

Bad weather is complicating search-and-rescue efforts, and officials have reported more than 600 aftershocks. More are expected in the coming days, leaving residents on edge.

Officials say the death toll is expected to rise as many people remain trapped in collapsed buildings.
