Quake: People don't want to be moved (2)

(ANSA) - Arquata Del Tronto, August 25 - Survivors of the earthquake that hit central Italy Wednesday are "asking not to go far from home, they want to remain close," Lower House Speaker Laura Boldrini said on her arrival Thursday in a rescue camp in the Marche town of Arquata del Tronto. "They prefer to sleep in the car provided they don't have to leave their homes and we must take this into account," she said, stressing that "we have seen in the past that moving people definitively away is very negative, it doesn't work". The 6.2-magnitude quake killed at least 241 people in the Lazio towns of Amatrice and Accumoli and the Marche town of Arquata del Tronto. Boldrini is a Marche native, from Macerata.
