The United Nations General Assembly has observed a minute's silence for the victims of Monday's earthquake.
“Our teams are on the ground assessing the needs and providing assistance," UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a statement.
"We count on the international community to help the thousands of families hit by this disaster, many of whom were already in dire need of humanitarian aid in areas where access is a challenge."
