The death toll in a collapsed landfill in the central Philippines has risen to 11, authorities said, as hopes of finding survivors dim.
The landslide occurred at the Binaliw landfill in Cebu City last week while more than 100 workers were on site, officials said.
Rescuers have so far pulled 12 injured people out of the debris, but more than 20 people still remain missing. One local fire official had earlier told AFP that was unlikely for "people to still be alive" three days after "tons of debris and trash had collapsed over them".
The incident has sparked calls for investigation into the cause of the collapse, as well as a review of the country's waste management system.
Environment authorities have since ordered Prime Integrated Waste Solutions, Inc., the landfill's operator, to suspend its activities at the site.
