Rescuers worked through the night on Wednesday in a bid to save survivors trapped in rubble after Tuesday’s 7.1-magnitude earthquake in Mexico. 

Among the desperate attempts was that in Mexico City to save a 12-year-old girl buried under rubble from a collapsed school building. 

But officials have vowed to continue with their efforts to get the girl out, but according to Reuters, officials said after 15 hours of digging, rescuers were still no able to pinpoint her location. 

Some media reports indicate there could be at least two other girls with her. 

So far at least 237 people have been killed and over 1,900 injured. 

The massive quake struck Mexico City on the 32nd anniversary of the country’s biggest ever earthquake, in 1985. 

According to Reuters, more than 50 survivors have so far been dug out from several disaster sites since Tuesday. 

Reuters stated that rescuers were too afraid to use heave lifting equipment in fear of crushing survivors below. 

However, throughout Mexico city, rescue crews are working alongside volunteers and are using dogs, cameras, motion detectors and heat-seeking equipment to detect victims that could still be alive. 

At least 52 buildings collapsed in Mexico City in Tuesday’s quake. Many more were reported to have been reduced to rubble in surrounding states, officials said. 

Reuters reported that at least nine Latin American countries pledged to send in search-and-rescue teams or technical assistance, with crews from Panama and El Salvador already on the job, as did the United States, Spain, Japan and Israel.
