Naples quake recovery begins as €100m aid announced

The Italian government has released €100 million ($115 million) in aid to tackle damage caused by last week's earthquake in the Naples area, the civil protection minister said on Tuesday, as reported by The Local Italy. The funds come after a magnitude 4.7 earthquake near Naples injured 26 people and damaged buildings in the Campi Flegrei volcanic area, according to new footage reported by Euronews.

The tremor struck on Friday, shaking the volcanic region west of Naples and prompting widespread concern about the area's seismic resilience. Euronews reported that video footage showed the aftermath in Pozzuoli, the town at the heart of the Campi Flegrei caldera, with damaged buildings and residents assessing the destruction.
