Philippines Hit by Devastating Earthquake
Description
A devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck southern Philippines, killing 37 and displacing 32,000 as rescue teams scramble through rubble. Though only four are officially missing, officials warn many structures remain unstable. Nearly 500 injured, thousands fled tsunami fears — though only minor waves hit. Landslides and collapsed buildings caused most deaths, especially in General Santos and Sarangani. Aftershocks loom as the strongest quake in the Philippines since 1976. President dispatches aid, with U.S., France, Japan, and New Zealand offering support. Living on the Ring of Fire, the region remains at constant risk — vigilance is key.
