Rescuers are intensifying their searches in highland areas of central Costa Rica after a powerful earthquake that left at least 19 people dead. The 6.1-magnitude quake on Thursday at Poas Volcano National Park north of the capital, San Jose, caused landslides to block roads and damage buildings. Red Cross officials now say 19 people have died, with others still believed to buried by landslides. At least 40 people are still missing, and hundreds have sought refuge. Temporary shelters have been set up in the region for those affected by the quake. Officials have warned that the number of dead and injured is likely to rise as rescuers reach remote areas.
