As a result of the damage caused, more than 3,100 families have been forced to leave their homes, while authorities report that more than 430 aftershocks have been recorded.
Concern among residents remains high, as two other noticeable earthquakes were recorded over the last 24 hours, including one with a magnitude of 4.5.
Meanwhile, emergency teams together with humanitarian organizations are continuing their efforts on the ground to assess the extent of the damage and assist the affected families.
