RFK Jr. suggests buying liver or ‘cheap cuts’ instead of steak

A major earthquake struck the coastal region early Friday, damaging hundreds of buildings and triggering dozens of aftershocks. Local authorities declared a state of emergency as rescue teams coordinated in crowded urban centers to reach stranded residents.

Casualties are expected to rise, with hospitals overwhelmed by injured residents and thousands displaced. Power outages and disrupted communication networks complicated relief efforts, though aid organizations have begun delivering medical supplies and shelter materials.

Officials warned of possible aftershocks in the coming days and urged residents to stay away from unstable structures. International aid is being prepared as neighboring countries offered assistance and temporary field hospitals to support the response.
