Mexico earthquake: at least 149 dead after powerful quake – latest updates
Death toll is expected to rise after a 7.1 magnitude earthquake strikes 120km from Mexico City, collapsing buildings and killing more than 149 people.
AP reports that Enrique Peña Nieto said in the message issued late on Tuesday night that many people will need help, but the initial focus has to be on finding people trapped in wrecked buildings.
“The priority at this moment is to keep rescuing people who are still trapped and to give medical attention to the injured people,” he said.
Peña Nieto said that as of late Tuesday 40% of Mexico City and 60% of Morelos state have no electricity.
