While the earth continues to shake, salt the budget of the victims of the earthquake that hit central Italy on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday. Confirmed dead – but the budget is temporary – is 268, including 208 in Amatrice. We continue to dig through the rubble in search of survivors but hopes fade from hour to hour. And they have been denied the rumors that had spread in the morning about one or more survivors under the rubble of the Hotel Rome.
The death toll
The budget of victims, still provisional, was 268 dead and 387 wounded in detail, the victims have so far been 49 to Arquata del Tronto (which also includes the hamlet of Pescara del Tronto), 208 in Amatrice (including the victims so far recovered in collapses in several hamlets) and 11 to Accumoli. Many also saved people: are 238 people pulled alive from the rubble, 215 saved by the Fire Department and 23 rescued from mountain rescue. Were assisted more than 1,200 people in the fields and structures in Lazio, Marche and Umbria Civil Protection.

The earthquake swarm
The earth is still shaking after the earthquake that struck the Marche and Lazio in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday and has virtually razed to the ground amateur and Accumoli (in the province of Rieti) and Arquata del Tronto (in the province of Ascoli Piceno). A new strong quake of magnitude 4.8 occurred at 6:28 in Amatrice and provoked new collapses in already damaged buildings. The seismic swarm has never stopped after the first shock of the sixth grade who crumbled homes and buildings. 928 shocks were recorded after that of 3.36 Aug. 24. Only at midnight was 50. In particular, particularly strong were the episodes registered a magnitude of 3.6 to 1.49, 2.04 to 3.8 magnitude, to 6.08 and 6.21 magnitude 3.o, up to the very powerful 4.8-magnitude of 6.28. And even this new strong shock, as had happened on Thursday has caused new collapses in Amatrice in buildings already affected by the earthquake. These crises have not involved the teams of firefighters who have to work in two different places of course Rome: Hotel Rome, from where a victim has been drawn in the evening, and a private home.
The second night of the displaced
new movements of the earth have made the agonizing second night in tents for hundreds of displaced persons, in addition to the temperature dropped to 10.8 degrees. They have 2,100 – compared to an availability of 3,500 beds – the number of people who have found shelter in tents set up by the Civil Defence and volunteers in earthquake-affected areas of Lazio and Marche. Their number has increased significantly compared to the first night. Are then added to the 600 people who have found shelter in tents set up in Umbria, in particular in the area of Norcia where the earthquake caused no casualties and significant damage to homes but here the people continue to be afraid of any shock (as in fact there have been) and then at least in the first few nights the devastating earthquake prefer to sleep outside the home.
The funeral and the visit of Mattarella
the funeral of the Marche earthquake victims will be held in Ascoli Piceno Friday morning in the Cathedral at 11.30. This will be the Head of State Sergio Mattarella that – before the solemn rite – will be visiting amateur. The funeral, celebrated by Bishop Giovanni D’Ercole in the gymnasium adjacent to the hospital Mazzoni, will take place before the highest state authorities, including the Prime Minister. Renzi has declared a day of national mourning with the display of flags at half mast on public buildings of the entire Italian territory.
Block of taxes in the areas affected
Meanwhile, the cabinet approved a state of emergency and the allocation of the first 50 million euro for the ‘emergency. Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has also announced the “tax bloc” in the areas affected by the earthquake. Abi invites banks to suspend mortgage payments of damaged houses. The Ania asked insurance companies to extend the payment of premiums. Groupama has already announced.
