		</div><p>Government cargo planes are flying in supplies as troops began distributing boxes of food to survivors of an earthquake that destroyed a large part of Juchitan and killed at least 37 people in the area, as officials raised the nationwide death toll to 90.</p>
<p>Some people continued to sleep outside, fearful of more collapses, as strong aftershocks continued to rattle the town, including a magnitude 5.2 jolt early on Sunday.</p>
<p>Local officials said they had counted nearly 800 aftershocks of all sizes since Thursday’s big quake, and the US Geological Survey counted nearly 60 with a magnitude of 4.5 or greater.</p>
<p>Teams of soldiers and federal police spread out across neighbourhoods in Juchitan to help demolish damaged buildings.</p>
<p>Maria de Lourdes Quintana Lopez said she could not wait for the government’s assistance as she oversaw the demolition of her family business’s warehouse.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;We have to work so that we’re not overcome with sadness,&#8221;</i> Ms Quintana said.<br />
<i>&#8220;We’re not going to wait for the government to do what it has to do.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>The 8.1 magnitude earthquake caused so many deaths in Juchitan that slow-moving funeral processions caused temporary gridlock as they converged on the city’s cemeteries.</p>
<p>Scenes of mourning were repeated over and over again in Juchitan, where a third of the city’s homes collapsed or were uninhabitable, President Enrique Pena Nieto said late on Friday.</p>
<p>On the outskirts of the city, the general hospital settled into its temporary home &#8211; a school gym with stretchers parked on the basketball court.</p>
<p>The earthquake rendered the hospital itself uninhabitable, so the gym contained a mix of patients that pre-dated the quake and those who suffered injuries as a result of it.</p>
<p>Maria Teresa Sales Alvarez said it was &#8220;chaos&#8221; when the earthquake struck the single-story hospital, but staff moved patients outside and transferred most of those who required specialised care to other facilities.</p>
<p>Governor Alejandro Murat said on Sunday that the death toll in his state had risen to 71. Officials have reported 19 killed in neighbouring states.</p>
<p>Two others died in a mudslide in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz after Hurricane Katia hit late on Friday.</p>
<p>Mr Pena Nieto said authorities were working to re-establish supplies of water and food and provide medical attention to those who need it.</p>
<p>He vowed that the government would help rebuild.</p>
