beneath the rubble.
Thousands of people have been injured.
The earthquake struck at around
11:00 local time (06:30 GMT) on Saturday.

Wall plaster started to fall down and
the walls got cracks, some walls and parts
of the building collapsed."

"I am not able to contact my family... I am
too worried and scared,
it was horrifying," he added.]
