MANILA, Philippines — Fire raced through a slum near the main port in the Philippine capital, leaving 4,000 people homeless and killing a 5-year-old girl, an official said Sunday.
The Saturday night blaze gutted 500 shanties, which were packed together in a crowded slum along the rim of Manila Bay, some housing two or three families. The cause of the fire, which raged for two hours, is still under investigation, said Senior Fire Officer Emmanuel Gaspar.
