More than 20,000 evacuees and 294 injured recorded as aftershocks continue to unsettle communities in northern Cebu.
The death toll from the magnitude 6.9 earthquake in the central Philippines has risen to 72, officials confirmed.
With search operations now complete and “zero missing”, according to National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) spokesman Junie Castillo, authorities on Thursday shifted focus to supporting the injured and displaced.
Rescue teams recovered three more bodies overnight from a collapsed hotel in Bogo City, near the epicentre. With all victims now accounted for, some rescue units in Cebu province have been instructed to “demobilise”.
