GUADALUPE VICTORIA, Mexico — Thousands of people camped in cars, soccer fields and vacant lots Tuesday as aftershocks from Easter Sunday’s earthquake kept them on edge.

About 25,000 people have been displaced by the magnitude-7.2 quake, most voluntarily, said Alfredo Escobedo, the civil protection chief for Baja California state. They are mainly in farming villages southwest of Mexicali.

Escobo estimated 200 to 300 homes were destroyed. About 700 aftershocks greater than magnitude-2.5 had been recorded since Sunday.
