6.9-Magnitude Earthquake in Central Philippines Kills Nearly 70, Overwhelms Hospitals
A powerful magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck the central Philippines near Bogo city on the island of Cebu, resulting in at least 69 deaths and over 150 injuries. The quake caused significant structural damage, with 22 buildings reported damaged and numerous people trapped under collapsed structures, prompting urgent rescue operations. Hospitals, particularly in Bogo, were overwhelmed with injured patients, necessitating the transfer of some to facilities in Cebu city. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr pledged rapid assistance, while local authorities declared a state of calamity in affected areas like San Remigio to facilitate aid efforts. Rescue operations were challenged by aftershocks, power outages, and adverse weather conditions, as volunteers and officials worked through the night amid dramatic scenes shared widely on social media. Essential resources such as food, water, and rescue equipment have been urgently requested to support relief efforts in the region.
