Recently a devastating earthquake hit in Italy killing around 300 people. Residents of the town of Almatrice have estimated that about 10 people are still missing since the quake struck. However rescuers believe that more bodies are trapped beneath the rubble of the fallen city. Deputy Mayor Gianluca Carloni said "It is absolutely vital to finish as soon as possible this initial (search) phase to make sure that there are no more bodies under the rubble," Mueseums all around Italy have been raising money to begin the reconstruction processes and top soccer teams have been giving a minute of silence before all of their matches out of respect for the victims. With aftershocks still effecting the region, the people of Italy are having a hard time preparing to rebuild. In the rebuilding process they will learn from the mistakes that happened following a similar earthquake in a city nearby in 2009.
I believe this article was written in order to inform the rest of the world about the tragedy that took place in Italy as wells raise awareness about the effects of extreme weather/land conditions similar to an earthquake. When people read this article it might make them want to donate to the rebuilding of Almatrice or research more about the earthquake.

This is so sad that natural disasters like this happen. I think it is good that we draw attention to this because it is important to raise the funds to help these people get back on their feet.
ReplyDeleteIt is so sad and heart breaking how all of those peoples lives were taken. For the 10 people missing, I sincerely hope they are found soon.
