At least 3,000 people have been left homeless after a large fire, which lasted for more than 12 hours, hit a shanty town in the Philippines capital Manila.

Most of them were poorly built, and the government says it's unable to determine the cause of the fire.

Al Jazeera's Jamela Alindogan reports from Manila.
