In Mexico City, thousands of soldiers, rescuers and civilians including college students are working side by side to dig through tall piles of rubble from dozens of crumbled buildings due to strong earthquake.
Hundreds of volunteers have joined emergency services and rescue operations in the search for survivors.
A huge earthquake has killed more than 200 people in central Mexico. Almost half of the casualties has been reported from the capital, Mexico City. A school in Mexico City’s Coapa district collapsed, killing at least 30 people, mostly children.
The 7.1 magnitude quake had its epicentre in Puebla, south-east of the capital. Four thousand troops have been brought in to help.
