On Saturday, Panama's government announced a state of emergency as communities were shaken by over 100 aftershocks, some reaching a magnitude of 5.8, following two major earthquakes on Friday. The initial quakes, measured at 7.7 and 6.6 in magnitude, caused significant structural damage and prompted evacuations throughout the country.
While officials have reported no deaths linked to the earthquakes, the impact has been felt across all ten provinces of Panama, as well as in two Indigenous territories. Residents have been left in a state of anxiety, enduring hours of tremors that have rattled buildings and disrupted daily life.
Authorities are currently assessing the extent of the damage and are providing support to affected areas. As the aftershocks continue, officials emphasize the importance of preparedness and urge citizens to remain vigilant. The government is coordinating with emergency services to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents during this challenging time.
