Hundreds of people remain unaccounted for and are feared trapped beneath rubble from collapsed buildings across affected areas. Local rescue crews have been working to extract survivors from debris, though the scale of destruction has challenged their capacity.
Families in affected regions are seeking information about missing relatives. Hospitals have received casualties, and emergency services have mobilized across multiple locations.
