"A miracle happens! The buried child miraculously survived 60 hours later
A landslide in a mining village in the southern Philippines left more than 100 people missing, almost losing hope of finding survivors. However, an amazing miracle happened this Friday, when a child who had been buried for nearly 60 hours was successfully rescued, bringing new hope to rescuers and the entire country.
According to the UK** on February 9**, the girl of unknown age miraculously became a landslide survivor. In the village of Massala, in southern Mindanao, rescue teams faced a treacherous environment and searched with their hands and shovels in the hope of finding survivors.
When everyone is desperate to find someone alive, the girl is found. Edward Maccabili, a ** disaster relief agency in the Philippines' Davaudillo province, told AFP reporters that it was a miracle because the search team thought all the missing people were dead. "This gives hope to searchers. Children are usually less tenacious than adults, but it's surprising that this child survived.
Subsequently, a ** was shared on the Internet, **, in which the rescuers held a crying child covered in mud, and the scene was very touching. As you can see from the post of social **, there are no obvious scars on the child's body. After surviving, the child was taken to a medical center for examination, where his father witnessed the child's safety.
A landslide on Tuesday night destroyed houses, engulfed three buses and a jeep, and the vehicles waiting to pick up the miners were also part of the tragedy. According to official figures, at least 11 people have died, 31 have been injured, and more than 100 are missing.
Under the pressure of weather and bad conditions, rescue teams are trying to find more survivors. While they used heavy bulldozers in some areas, in others they had to carry out search and rescue with shovels with their bare hands, believing that there might be bodies in these places. In addition, rescuers also use search and rescue dogs to find people buried in mud and rubble.
The Philippines is located in a mountainous area, with frequent rainfall and large-scale deforestation, making it prone to natural disasters such as landslides. In recent weeks, parts of Mindanao have been hit by persistently heavy rainfall, causing dozens of landslides and flooding, forcing tens of thousands of people to evacuate to emergency shelters. At the same time, the instability in the region has been exacerbated by the frequent ** that has occurred frequently in the past few months.
