Workers Clear Flood-Driven Rubbish Blanketing Manila River

Workers in Manila, Philippines, waded into a local river to collect large amounts of waste that had accumulated on its surface. The buildup of rubbish was caused by days of heavy rainfall, which swept debris into the waterway. Cleanup crews worked to remove the tide of garbage that had blanketed the river. The incident highlights the ongoing challenge of waste management in the Philippine capital, particularly during periods of intense rain.
