Yesterday L’Aquila has been at the centre of a 6.3 magnitude shock, firemen and volounteers are still working to save people trapped under collapsed buildings.

L’Aquila is a city in central Italy and is the capital of Abruzzo. It is a lively college town that sits upon a hillside in the middle of a narrow valley.

This has been the Italy’s worst earthquake in 30 years, leaving between 50,000 and 100,000 people homeless as more than 15,000 buildings were destroyed or damaged beyond repair.

The earthquake killed about 250 and 1500 people were injuried.

More than 100 persons have been saved.
