New York, Sept 20(Just Earth News): Secretary-General AntÃ³nio Guterres voiced sadness at the loss of life and damage resulting from the earthquake that occurred in Mexico on Tuesday, and expressed the readiness of the United Nations to assist.

“On Tuesday’s disaster comes just two weeks after the country suffered a strong earthquake, which already resulted in significant loss of life and suffering,” noted a statement issued by Guterres’ Spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric.

According to media reports, over 100 people have been killed, including scores in the state of Morelos, which was close to the epicentre of the 7.1-magnitude quake. Dozens were also killed in the capital, Mexico City.
