Holding out a photo on a mobile phone or simply describing the dead, medical workers asked desperate relatives if they recognised their loved ones.
Cries broke out each time a match was found.
Authorities tried to prevent families from talking to journalists, but one man, who did not give his name, said his daughter had died and feared his wife had also perished.
“I lost my daughter, who was staying with her mother,” he said through tears.
Unsure where his wife was, he told AFP: “I guess she did not make it either.”
One group of five women, sitting on the floor outside the morgue, said their “whole family had gone”.
“They were our children and grandchildren,” they said.
