The earthquakes were the strongest in the country in more than 100 years.

An estimate by the United Nations (UN) indicates that around 50,000 people are still missing.
Rescue teams continue to mobilize in search of survivors under the rubble. As the hours pass, concern grows among authorities. The more time passes, the lower the chances of finding people alive among the rubble.
The dimension of the disaster goes beyond the areas where there were landslides. The International Organization for Migration (IOM), an agency linked to the UN, estimates that more than 6 million people may have been affected by the earthquakes.
The damage caused by the earthquakes to homes, vehicles and businesses has a preliminary estimate of US$6.7 billion (R$34.68 billion), according to a satellite assessment carried out by the digital analysis of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).
