The death toll from the September 19 earthquake in central Mexico has continued to inch upward more than a week later and now stands at 345.
National Civil Defence chief Luis Felipe Puente reports that another death has been confirmed in the capital. He said late yesterday on Twitter that the toll in Mexico City has reached 206.
Most of the rubble has been cleared away from the 38 sites where buildings collapsed in the capital due to the magnitude 7.1 quake.
There were also fatalities in the states of Morelos, Puebla, Mexico State, Guerrero and Oaxaca.
