official update<\/a>, released on Sunday, listed 4,490 deaths, an increase of 157 from Saturday.

The first earthquake had a magnitude of 7.2 and was followed 39 seconds later by a magnitude 7.5 quake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The government said 32,401 patients have been treated, an increase of 1,208 from Saturday. It also reported that 120,794 families have received assistance, while 17,907 people have been left homeless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
