How many residents died and how many have been found alive in the landslide? [br

Officials in the Philippines feared that almost all of the 1800 residents of Guinsaugon died in the massive landslide that buried the village on eastern Leyte Island on Friday. Authorities say only 57 people have been found alive, and that the chances of finding more survivors are fading. At least 46 bodies have been recovered. Philippine president Gloria Arroyo has deployed the military for rescue and recovery efforts. Several countries including the United States are supplying monetary and military aid. Matthew Lussenhop at the US embassy in Manila says the US navy ships Harper’s ferry and the carrier Essex were already in the area on military maneuvers. They’ll be sent to the landslide area to help with relief efforts. "Essex ship has a lot of capability to ad- dress these kinds of humanitarian disasters, specifically what’s out there needed to be worked out." Officials say rescue efforts have been hampered by continuous rain, blocked road and unstable mud.
