An
earthquake occurred in a mountainous area of central Italy at 03:36 on
Wednesday, August 24th. The tremor of the earthquake, which has 6.2 quakes
struck magnitude, was felt across Italy, from Bologna in the North to Naples in
the South. It killed 159 and injured 368 people. Most of the victims are
children. 86 people have been killed in two towns, Amatrice and Accumoli, while
the others 34 died in Le Marche province. Almost all of the buildings have collapsed,
especially houses. Consequently, Mayor Stefano Petruci decided to build tents
for they who need shelter. The worst is, although the loss of life rises, many
people are still believed to be buried under the rubble.
However,
in the middle of gloom, there was still blissfulness since some people can
survive for their life. In Accumoli, rescuers could save a family with two
young sons. While rescuers were looking for the other victims, they heard the
screams of a mother and her two sons.
Then, rescuers immediately tried to find them. In Arquata, a grandmother
successfully saved her grandchildren’s life by pulling them under a bed with
her. Additionally, rescuers saved an 8 years old girl in Pescara del Toronto
after she has buried under rubble for 17 hours.
After
reading the bad news, I feel very sorry for the victims and for all people who
lost their family’s member in such catastrophe. I wish that Italy will get a
lot of help from other countries soon. In addition, we know that in 2009 an
earthquake killed 300 people in L’ Aquila and in May 2012, 20 people were
killed because of two tremors nine days in the northern Emilia Romagna region. Totally,
thousands people were killed in the same catastrophe. The data showed that an
earthquake is not a stranger in Italy. So, the government has to prepare the
facilities well. For instance, in this modern era, they can build very strong
buildings, so that it can stand longer when there was a tremor. Also, the government
has to paid more attention at the geographical conditions of Italy. When they
find a small tremor’s signal, they can warn people to prepare the presence of
an earthquake and they can prepare all of the facilities that they need, such
as help from other countries, medical stuff, etc. #PrayforItaly
I think that is a good start, but it is better to write the summary a little shorter.
