On Thursday, a powerful earthquake in Central Philippines killed 72, officials said, when deprived of the missing wounds and rescue workers diverted their attention to hundreds of injured and thousands were displaced.
Near the 6.9 magnitude earthquake center on Tuesday, the bodies of three latest victims were pulled from the rubble of a falling hotel in Bogo overnight.
“We have zero missing, so the assumption is calculated,” said Jonny Castilo, a spokesman for the administrative council, said.
On Thursday, President Ferdinand Marcos left for Bogo with senior assistants, promising that he promised to temporarily keep the “Tent City” whose residence was in 600 earthquakes.
In addition, there will be thousands of residents whose homes remain structured, but those who fear that they have been caught in a wave of aftershocks clearing the region.
The government said 294 people were injured and about 20,000 fled their homes north of Cebu. Many people are sleeping on the streets.
According to the Regional Civil Defense Office, more than 110,000 people in the earthquake -hit communities will need help to rebuild their homes and restore livelihoods.
Marcos told reporters that the earthquake had the main impact on the infrastructure, officials were not sure about the condition of evacuation centers, which meant “we have nothing to keep the homeless families”.
“Our decision was to buy giant tents,” he told reporters.
By the end of the day, he also vowed to restore electricity to the 90,000 city of Bogo and vowed to provide a token worth 10,000 pycons (2 172) to each family who lost their home.
Marcos also visited a partially damaged housing project in Bogo, built for the 2013 Super Typhone Han survivors, one of the deadly natural disasters to target the Philippines.
A local government statement said that after the earthquake, eight bodies were “recovered from the demolished houses”.
‘I’m still scared’
A small village in Bogo served as a temporary shelter for his 14 neighbors after the 18 -year -old Dian Madril and his homes were destroyed. Their clothes and food were scattered in the chapel of the chapel.
“The whole wall (of my house) fell, so I don’t really know how and when we can go back,” Madrigel told AFP.
“I am still afraid of aftershocks, it seems that we have to run again,” he said.
The 43 -year -old mother’s four -luckel Ipel added her water container in the road 10 meters (30 feet) in the road in Bogo, where residents waited for the truck to bring the truck water.
“The earthquake really ruined our lives,” he told AFP. We cannot eat, not drink or bathe properly. “
“We really want to go back to our old life before the earthquake, but we don’t know when it will take place … Reconstruction takes a long time.”
Many areas are left without electricity, and dozens of patients were sheltering in the tents outside the Bogo’s bad Sibo Provincial Hospital.
“I will be here under the tent,” Kyle Malik, 22, told AFP. At least I can be treated at least. “
Marcos later said that government engineers have discovered that it is safe to move patients back inside the hospital.
Earthquakes in the Philippines are a nearby daily, located on the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, an arc of a severe earthquake activity spread from Japan to Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
