“We won’t suspend the search and rescue mission we’ve been given until we find the last of the survivors,” army chief Salvador Cienfuegos said on Twitter. In hard-hit Mexico City, rescue efforts focused on 10 collapsed buildings where people may still be alive. Mexico City Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera said 50 people were missing. Working without pause since the massive quake, first responders and volunteers have saved 60 survivors from central Mexico City to poor neighbourhoods far to the south. Calls for political penny-pinching gained momentum on social media following a powerful quake two weeks ago that killed nearly 100 people in the south of the country.
