Everything was shaking, there was a whistling sound and then a loud crash. “I couldn’t feel anything. Seconds seemed like eternity, I was trembling, my heart was pounding.” This is how thousands of the earthquake victims described their traumatic experiences with the series of quakes that hit central Italy during the past two weeks.http://www.humedica.org/aktuelles/erdbeben_italien_leben_in_truemmern Judith Kühl/SRI2009-04-20T00:00:00Z http://www.humedica.org/e301/e6004 Two and a half days after the severe earthquake that hit the region of Abruzzo the situation has hardly calmed down. More than 300 aftershocks have been registered since then, among them a strong one that claimed another casualty.
