Authorities are prioritizing the search for survivors as the situation remains critical. The earthquake has prompted a national response, with resources being directed toward the affected areas. Ongoing aftershocks continue to hamper rescue work and raise concerns for the stability of remaining structures. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
