The tremor hit just before lunchtime, killing at least 65 people, while up to 200 others are still trapped.
Prime Minister John Key says what was a vibrant city a few hours ago has been brought to its knees.
Laura Davis from Radio New Zealand says the city’s fire service is stretched beyond capacity.
