The government on Friday decided
to allocate 30 million euros for the emergency following the new
earthquakes that rocked central Italian again this week in areas
also already gripped by heavy snowfall and record-low
temperatures, according to ANSA government sources after a
cabinet meeting.
The sources said that the decision was taken in response to
requests made by regional and local authorities over the past 48
hours, especially to clear the affected areas from the snow.
During the hour-long meeting, the cabinet also started
discussing measures to pledge "a few billion" euros "in addition
to the four billion already allocated" in the 2017 budget law to
the quake emergency, according to the sources.
