After shocks continue in Christchurch, NZ, after the 7.1 earthquake on Saturday.. Two of these were up to 5.4 which is a nasty little earthquake in its on right.
Damage continues after each batch of after shocks. Residents are getting badly stressed, especially the elderly.
Intestinal disease has claimed thirty victims so far - these people have had to be isolated in quarentine. Sewerage affected water is the cause. Drinking water has to be boiled for three minutes and people have to ensure they wash their hands before eating.
No deaths from injuries have yet been recorded - one death by heart attack may be attributed to the earthquake.
Christchurch will have to undergo a huge rebulding program in coming months and will never be the same again.
A faultline has lain dormant for 16,000 years and nobody was aware of its existence.
