At least 27 people have been killed in a powerful earthquake that struck central Italy.
Five children are said to be among the dead and at least 30 people remain unaccounted for as a massive search for the trapped is under way.
The 6.3-magnitude quake struck in the early hours close to the medieval city of L'Aquila, 95km (60 miles) from Rome.
A civil protection official told the BBC that 3,000 to 10,000 buildings in the city may have been damaged.
