At least 65 people have been killed and as many as 200 remain missing after a large earthquake measuring 6.3 magnitude struck the New Zealand city of Christchurch earlier this morning, destroying buildings in the city’s centre as the streets were filled with office workers and lunchtime shoppers.
Hundreds of people are feared to be trapped in collapsed buildings. The centre of the city has been evacuated as aftershocks continue.
