"There aren't any buildings that are in good condition, even the very modern buildings around the central plaza are totally destroyed," Vallejos said.

"There have been more than 200 deaths in this area, and they're still looking for more victims because entire buildings have collapsed."

Hundreds of people were injured in Ica farther south, reported journalist Guillermo Galdos in an interview with ITN. The morgue collapsed, and the International Red Cross has sent body bags to the city, Galdos said. See photos of the devastation »
