STORYLINE:
Rescue work continued through the night and into Friday morning in the earthquake-hit Peruvian towns of Ica and Pisco, where the number of known dead rose to 510.
Rescue workers picked carefully through the crumbled adobe walls of the San Clemente church, looking for survivors of the deadly earthquake that devastated parts of southern Peru.
The destruction was centred in Peru's southern desert, about 125 miles (200 kilometres) southeast of the capital, Lima.
When the shaking began, hundreds of people were gathered for a special Mass in the pews of San Clemente Church in the main plaza of the fishing port of Pisco .
The main shock lasted for two terrible minutes and left most of the church in rubble, burying 200 people, according to Pisco Mayor Juan Mendoza.
Rescuers pulled out bodies all day and lined them up on the plaza - at least 60 by late afternoon on Thursday.
Civil defence workers then arrived and zipped them into body bags. But people searching desperately for missing relatives opened the bags, crying hysterically when they recognised a familiar face.
The earthquake's magnitude was revised from 7.9 on the Richter scale to 8 by the US Geological Survey as 14 aftershocks sent waves of fear through the rescue teams.
Peru's President Alan Garcia flew by helicopter to Ica, a city of 120,000 where a quarter of the buildings collapsed, and declared a state of emergency.
He said flights were reaching Ica to take in aid and take the injured to hospitals at towns unaffected by the 'quake..
Government doctors called off a scheduled national strike for higher pay.
Electricity, water and phone service were down in much of southern Peru.
The government rushed police, soldiers and doctors to the area, but traffic was paralysed by giant cracks and fallen power lines on the PanAmerican Highway.
The last time a quake of magnitude 7.0 or larger struck Peru was in September 2005, when a 7.5-magnitude earthquake rocked the country's northern jungle, killing four people.
In 2001, a 7.9-magnitude quake struck near the southern Andean city of Arequipa, killing 71.
