Muslim child dies in Zamboanga evacuation center

ZAMBOANGA CITY: Another child has died at a refugee camp in Zamboanga City in southern Philippines and raising the death toll to 28 as tens of thousands of Filipino evacuees continue to suffer from hunger and poor health services.

Many of the evacuees are in tents inside the sports complex where the child—Al Kaiser—died from severe dehydration and diarrhoea. Kaiser’s mother, Filomena Abdulhamid, could do nothing, but cry to the loss of her son.
