At least 10 people, including a young family of four, have been confirmed dead, after a devastating 6.2 magnitude earthquake hit Italy in the wee hours of today. Panicked residents were sent fleeing into the streets of numerous towns
and cities as the powerful quake brought buildings – including a
hospital – crashing to the ground earlier today.
Rescuers are now pulling bloodied victims to safety and
frantically searching for survivors.
