A baby is among the fatalities after a hospital lost power causing its ventilator to stop working.

The quake has killed at least six people, including two children in the southern Mexican state of Tabasco.
Its governor, Arturo Nunez, said one was a baby who died at a children's hospital which lost power, causing the infant's ventilator to stop working.
Another three people were killed in neighbouring Chiapas state - among them two women who died in San Cristobal when a house and a wall collapsed.
