Sad news for many,
in that zone.
[At least 69 people have been killed and dozens
injured after a powerful 6.9 magnitude
earthquake struck the central
Philippines late on Tuesday.
The province of Cebu, which suffered the brunt
of the damage, declared a state of calamity
early on Wednesday, after thousands spent
the night on the streets amid repeated aftershocks.
One Cebu resident told the BBC he was
among them, adding that power and water supplies
were cut off. He says the voices of crying children
could be heard around him,
adding that they were "traumatised".
The earthquake comes barely more than
a week after the country was hit by
back-to-back typhoons which killed
more than 20 people, external.]
