A 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck in the central Philippines on Tuesday morning, collapsing roofs and buildings, cracking walls and roads and killing at least six people.
The quake was centred 56 kilometres (35 miles) deep below Carmen town on Bohol Island and was felt across the region.
Radio station DZMM quoted civil defence officials as saying that four people died when part of a fish port collapsed in nearby Cebu city, across the strait from Bohol.
Two more people died and 19 were injured when the roof of a market in Mandaue in Cebu province collapsed, according to TV reports. People rushed out of buildings and homes, including hospitals as aftershocks continued.
Photos from Cebu broadcast on TV stations showed a fallen concrete 2-story building, and reports said two people were pulled alive, including an 8-month-old baby.
Bohol Gov. Edgardo Chatto said that a church was reported damaged in the provincial capital of Tagbilaran and a part of the city hall collapsed, injuring one person.
A 17th-century stone church in Loboc town, southwest of Carmen, crumbled to pieces, with nearly half of it reduced to rubble. Other old churches dating from the Spanish colonial period, which are common in the central region, also reported damage.
Tuesday is a national holiday and that may have reduced casualties because schools and offices are closed.
Earthquakes are common in the Philippines, which lies along the Pacific “Ring of Fire.”
Cebu province, about 570 kilometres (350 miles) south of Manila, has a population of more than 2.6 million people. Nearby Bohol has 1.2 million people and is popular among foreigners because of its beach and island resorts.(ChinaDaily)
新聞資訊:
在15日周二早上,菲律賓中部發(fā)生7.2級地震,建筑物倒塌,道路和墻壁開裂,造成至少六人死亡。
地震中心位于保和島(Bohol Island)卡門鎮(zhèn)(Carmen)地下56公里,在整個地區(qū)能明顯感覺到震動。
廣播電臺DZMM援引國防官員的話稱,在保和島對岸的宿霧市(Cebu)部分漁民港口倒塌,造成四人死亡。
根據(jù)電視報道,宿霧省曼達威市(Mandaue)的一家市場建筑倒塌,造成兩人死亡,19人受傷。余震還在繼續(xù),市民紛紛從樓房,住宅以及醫(yī)院中逃出來。
從宿霧電視廣播電臺公布的圖片顯示一個二層混凝土大樓倒塌,而報道稱,成功救出兩人,其中還有一個八個月大的嬰兒。
保和州長艾德加多· 查托(Edgardo Chatto)稱,有報告稱保和(Tagbilaran)首府塔比拉蘭教堂受災(zāi),部分市政廳倒塌并導(dǎo)致一人受傷。
在卡門西南方的羅博鎮(zhèn)(Loboc),一個17世紀(jì)的石壘教堂幾乎成了一片廢墟,只剩殘垣斷壁。其他在中部地區(qū)常見的西班牙殖民時期建造的老教堂也遭毀嚴(yán)重。
由于周二是國慶節(jié),政府與學(xué)校都放假,這也一定程度上減少了人員傷亡。
菲律賓地處環(huán)太平洋地震帶,經(jīng)常發(fā)生地震。
宿霧省距離馬尼拉南部大約570公里,人口超過260萬。附近的保和有120萬人口,因為海灘和島嶼度假村,保和深受外國游客喜愛。
