Initially the government had said there was only minor damage and no injuries, however that quickly changed.
Ninety-nine deaths have been confirmed due to the earthquake.
Two hundred and seventy-six others were injured, mostly by falling objects.
Buildings and roads were destroyed and landslides also caused major damage to various areas.
Massive search and rescue efforts are underway to search for more people trapped under rubble.
