The Death Toll in the Italian Earthquake has Reached 247
The death toll in the Italian earthquake has risen to at least 247 as thousands of rescuers continue efforts to find survivors, BBC reports.
Dozens are believed trapped in ruined Amatrice, Accumoli and Pescara del Tronto, in mountainous central Italy.
The search went on through the night, and there was a strong aftershock which rocked already damaged buildings.
