Six bodies found in past 2 days in quake-hit Italian town
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA spokesman for firefighters says that rescue workers have found six bodies over the past two days from the rubble of Amatrice, the hardest hit of three towns struck by the recent earthquake in Italy.
Luca Cari says three of those bodies have been recovered and three others are stuck in a place that is hard for workers to safely reach and that it will still take more time to recover them.
All the bodies were found in the rubble of Hotel Roma.
Cari says that the workers are now “clearing the pathways so that our men are safe from possible collapses.”
There are 290 confirmed deaths from Wednesday’s 6.2 quake. It wasn’t immediately clear if the newly discovered bodies are included in that official toll.
