A devastating landslide has struck a gold mine in the town of Maco, Davao de Oro province in the southern Philippines. According to the latest information, the tragedy has killed 37 people, including several miners and rescue workers. For now, rescuers are still trying to dig up the rubble and find possible survivors, but as time goes on, hope has become rather slim.
The disaster occurred on the evening of the 6th, when the mine was in operational condition. Suddenly, a landslide and a large amount of earth and rock poured into the mining area, causing serious damage. Witnesses at the scene said the mine was in chaos and the miners fled in panic. Some people were trapped under the rubble, and cries for help rang out. After the accident, the Philippine government quickly organized rescue forces to rush to the scene.
Hundreds of rescue workers, including military, police and firefighters, rushed into the rescue operation. They used a variety of tools to dig through the rubble and look for the trapped people. At the same time, medical teams also rushed to the scene to provide emergency treatment to the injured.
However, the rescue efforts are progressing with great difficulty. Due to the complex topography of the mining area, the debris is piled up, which poses a huge challenge to rescuers. In addition, the local climatic conditions are not optimistic, and the continuous rainfall further increases the difficulty of rescue. According to the latest information, the death toll has risen to 37. This is a shocking and sad figure, and it is yet another reminder of our concern about mineral safety. The development of mineral resources is essential for the economic development of the country, but the issue of security cannot be ignored either.
The accident was a wake-up call for the Philippine mining industry. The government needs to strengthen the supervision of mineral safety and take practical and effective measures to ensure the safety of workers. At the same time, mining enterprises also need to improve safety awareness, strengthen safety production training, and reduce the risk of accidents.
