I understand right now it's 247 dead and 368 injured.
HOPEFULLY, more are alive and waiting for recuse like that little girl.
I know.
Especially as Ninurta pointed out, the buildings are just concrete slabs, no re-bar to help reinforce the walls.
They might ought to see about building codes after this tragedy, if they don't have any in place already.
Unless these were older buildings that were never updated to better building codes.
