The death toll is now over 90, with approx 1,500 injured.

On the BBC, they say that in the medieval walled city of L'Aquila, a well-known tourist attraction, between 3 and 10 thousands buildings have either completely collapsed or been damaged; and that the town will have to remain uninhabited for many months to come. Some smaller villages in the surrounding area have been completely wiped out!

I feel so sad, so bad for these people.
