Red Cross officials in the Philippines estimate that more than 200 people are dead and 1,500 missing after a landslide in the eastern part of the country. Officials say the landslide buried at least one village near the town of Saint Bernard in the southern part of Leyte Island. At least 36 survivors have been found and 15 bodies have been recovered. Desperate rescuers dug by hand for survivors all day in the mud-swallowed village of Guinsaugon in the eastern Philippine province of Leyte. One survivor told Manila’s GMA television that he felt trammers and then saw huge boulders the size of houses falling down the mountain side. The man says the entire village has been wiped out. The Philippine Red Cross is sending relief goods to the area including generators and body bags. President Gloria Arroyo promised swift aid to the landslide victims. "The full resources of the government are being harnessed to bring the biggest, possible rescue and relief resources for you." Rescue efforts are being hampered by rain, blocked roads and washed-out bridges. Philippine navy and coast guard ships are rushing to the area.
