AT LEAST 21 people are dead and many more are reportedly trapped under rubble after a powerful earthquake brought buildings crashing down and made one city “disappear” in central Italy.
The shallow, 6.2-magnitude quake struck 10km southeast of Norcia, a historic tourist town in the province of Perugia in southeastern Umbria on Wednesday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey.
Officials say Accumoli, Amatrice, Posta and Arquata del Tronto are the towns hardest hit by the quake, which affected the regions of Umbria, Marche and Lazio.
The quake was felt as far away as Rome, about 150km away from the epicentre, as homes in the historic centre swayed about 3.30am local time.
The Italian earthquake institute (INGV) reported 60 aftershocks in the four hours following the initial quake, the strongest measuring 5.5.
The mayor of the quake-hit town of Accumoli, Stefano Petrucci, said “now that daylight has come” the disaster was worse than first realised.
“We see that the situation is even more dreadful than we feared with buildings collapsed, people trapped under the rubble and no sound of life,” Mr Petrucci said.
