Aerial footage captured by Italian emergency services has revealed the scale of the damage from the two earthquakes that hit Sicily this week.
Earthquakes caused severe damage to buildings across a broad area near Catania, one of the most densely populated metropolitan districts in Sicily.
Civil Protection Department (Protezione Civile) chief Angelo Borrelli said: “We are working to assist the population, the residents who have been left homeless, to give them a place to stay while we check the safety of the structures.”
