The death toll has risen to at least 241 in the Italian earthquake,with dozens more people believed to be trapped under rubble.
Rescuers continued to search through the night for survivors in mountain villages in central Italy, including Amatrice, Accumoli and Pescara del Tronto.
In the latter town, rescuers pulled a 10-year old girl out alive after 17 hours trapped under rubble.
Five bodies have been pulled from the ruins of the Hotel Roma in the historic town of Amatrice, where most guests had managed to escape.
But 10 people staying at the historic hotel are still unaccounted for.
The 6.2-magnitude quake struck 65 miles north-east of Rome in the early hours of Wednesday when people slept in their beds.
Italy’s health minister said many of the victims were children and warned the death toll could rise further.
Many affected were on vacation in the region and some were attending a food festival in Amatrice.
The mayor of Amatrice said three-quarters of the town had been destroyed and no building was safe to live in.
The area has also been shaken by strong aftershocks.
