It’s still not possible to use heavy equipment to sort through the wreckage, since there are living people there.

Rescuers are hoping that the majority of people trapped in the ruins can be brought out alive.

The main task now is not to let the building collapse further.

We are working at full strength all over the territory of the market. Rescue workers are working underneath the building to save those still alive, and we are hoping to save the majority of them.
