Cesar Jimenez, a member of Project HOPE’s response team, said some health facilities remain operational despite moderate damage. Others have suffered severe structural damage and cannot safely treat patients because of continuing aftershocks.<\/p>

“We cannot risk treating patients inside facilities that are vulnerable to collapse,” Jimenez told NPR’s<\/p>

“It’s really heartbreaking,” he said. “There are still hundreds of people trapped under the buildings.”<\/p>\n

Jimenez said local civil protection crews continue searching for survivors, while international aid has begun arriving from countries including El Salvador, Mexico, Switzerland and the United States.
