COTABATO CITY , Philippines — A five-year-old boy, who was attacked by at least 10 stray dogs in Isabela City, Basilan on Monday, died while being treated in a hospital yesterday. Edzhar Damsani was walking toward the stall of his grandmother in a bus terminal in Barangay Agiada when he was attacked and bitten by the dogs. He was transferred to the Zamboanga City Medical Center in this city from a hospital in Isabela. A photo of the badly injured boy went viral, prompting the city veterinary office to round up all stray dogs near the terminal. Mayor-elect Sitti Djalia Turabin-Hataman vowed to address the problem with stray dogs.
