Guatemala constantly suffered earthquakes

There is still no information about the damage and casualties but the two earthquakes that happened in less than a week made the people panic. According to Prensa Libre, the earthquake happened just in time when President Perez Molina was speaking to the press about the aftermath of the aftermath on November 7.

Soon Molina and government officials and reporters immediately evacuated the building.'Here we can feel its intensity very strong,' said Red Cross spokeswoman Vinicio Saraza to Reuters in San Marcos state.

San Marcos is a mountainous state, bordering the border with Mexico and also a region devastated by a powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake on November 7. This was the strongest earthquake recorded in Guatemala since 1976.

At San Cristobal Cucho, 10 members in the same family were killed when their home collapsed. Most of the victims are in San Marcos town. Also in the next area is Quetzaltenango, which has many casualties. Thousands of people have lost their homes and have no electricity to use. President Perez Molina said there are still 22 people missing.
