This was one of the most intense of the thousands of aftershocks that have followed the Feb. 6 earthquake, which to date has claimed more than 47,000 lives and more than 122,000 injuries in the border region.
More than 400 people are dead and almost 7,000 injured, as the Holy Father extends condolences and sorrow.
Aid will be offered at the Catholic Church’s clinics and hospitals.
