Rescue teams are searching for 15 missing people in the ruins of this 13th-century city hit by an earthquake Monday, Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi said.
The premier said ''just under 1,000 people have been injured, of whom 500 have been taken to hospital and 100 are in a serious condition''.
The 6.2 magnitude quake at 03:30 Italian time Monday killed 207 people.
Some 150 people had been rescued from the rubble and efforts were continuing by more than 7,000 fire teams and hundreds of volunteers from all over Italy.
