Families line up to identify landslide dead after typhoon

Itogon, Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines (CNN)“We have two more bodies to identify,” an official told the crowd through a megaphone as they lined up in the sweltering heat Tuesday.

All afternoon the relatives of those believed to have been killed in a massive landslide in the northern Philippines have waited for news.
As hopes faded for the recovery of any additional survivors, many were just hoping to identify their loved ones’ bodies and bring closure to the agonizing wait they had endured.
