President Sergio Mattarella on
Thursday "no effort is being spared in the effort to save human
lives and help people in difficulty". He said "I thank the
relief workers for their abnegation, working in extreme
conditions caused by the coincidence of seismic shocks and
exceptional snowfalls. This condition demands great unity of the
national community. Everyone, for his part, must act with
intelligence and responsibility to help ease the suffering of
the people involved". The central Italy quakes and snowfall have
caused widespread destruction including an Abruzzo hotel swept
away with some 30 feared dead.
