CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: In a nation still reeling from a devastating earthquake just last month, rescue crews are digging through mountains of fresh debris, racing to find survivors of a new -- yes, another -- deadly quake. More than 170 people were killed and thousands of homes flattened yesterday in El Salvador when a magnitude 6.6 tremor -- yes, 6.6 -- rattled the Central America country. CNN's Harris Whitbeck is following rescue efforts from the capital, San Salvador -- Harris.</s>HARRIS WHITBECK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Carol, good morning. Rescue workers fear that the number of dead might increase today as they reach some of those communities that were hit by this killer quake that hit exactly one month after another quake left, as you said, hundreds of people dead and thousands missing. The communities affected are mostly on the -- on the skirts of the San Vicente volcano. One of those communities, the devastation centered around a church and a school and people, and people -- rescue workers -- were able to go into that school and find at least six children killed. They were being protected by the body of their schoolteacher. So there are very, very dramatic, very, very terrible scenes in these communities. People, again, still trying to cope with the losses they suffered a month ago now must face these new losses again. Neighboring countries, including Guatemala and Nicaragua, have been sending help. The United States has sent helicopters. The government here says that it's urgently needing a field hospital because many people have been injured -- Carol.</s>LIN: All right, Harris Whitbeck, standing by live in San Salvador, thank you.
