Children among 13 dead as primary school collapses and homes are razed following earthquake in central Philippines

Dozens of houses were destroyed and children were crushed to death when their school building collapsed after a devastating earthquake hit the central Philippines this morning.

At least 13 people were killed, and 29 remain missing, after the 6.8-magnitude quake struck in a narrow strait just off Negros Island. A tsunami alert was issued after the disaster, but later lifted.

Thousands of residents were trapped in their homes as a landslide hit the city of Guihulngan in Negros Oriental province.
