Firstly, small ranged fire broke out in Krieza, which was really controllable. Then, as a precaution, villages Retsinolakko and Kokkini were evacuated. After a while, another fire broke out and burned a lot of villages, such as Daphni and Spiada. 

The next day eight villages were evacuated, because of the fire. On Wednesday, at night, fire was splitted in four parts with different directions each one.

On Thursday, the wind started blowing. As a result the four fiery fronts came into one, which was burning uncontrollably. All the villages near Eboia Lake and Agia Anna were evacuated. The only one recourse for the citizens was the sea.

During these days citizens of North Eboia were begging for help. There were not sufficient fire fighters. As a result the one third of forests in Eboia were burnt. In addition, a lot of people were burnt, while a great number of people were suffocated by CO2 emissions during fire. The property of the citizens suffered serious damages.  Additionally, the ecological result was devastating, as a lot of trees and animals were burnt. 

  There was widespread damage and thousands of fatalities.It was a major earthquake registered as 7.8, classified as "major" on the official magnitude scale. It erupted along about 100 k.

  It caused serious damage to buildings near the epicenter. But it's not just the power of the vibration that causes destruction. 

  The incident happened in the early hours of the morning, when the citizens were inside the apartments and sleeping.

The earthquake resulted in the deaths of at least 47,975 people in Turkey, over 1,400 in Syria and more than 4,500 in northwest Syria. Aid workers are among those killed. 

  The humanitarian community estimates that 8.8 million people live in areas most affected by the earthquake in Syria.

 The earthquake affected the neighboring provinces of Adıyaman, Kilis, Osmaniye, Gaziantep, Malatya, Elazığ as well as Şanlıurfa, Diyarbakır, Adana and Hatay, where around 15.5 million people reside.

  The resilient infrastructure is unfortunately in Turkey and especially in Syria, so saving lives now mostly depends on the response.  
 Right now the victims of the earthquake are devastated and they're hoping that there loved ones are either safe or... In a better place.

People yelled into narrow crevices in the rubble, desperately trying to communicate with anyone who might still be alive beneath the damage.

Dust-covered and shocked victims were pulled from the rubble and quickly whisked off in ambulances to the nearest hospital.
The earhquake occured 21 days after the 
 huge earthquake in Izmit , Marmara sea, of 17 August 1999. The possibility that the İzmit event triggered the Athen's one is strongly syggested by scientists.

Over 700 residents were evacuated or rescued, mainly from the seaside settlements located north of the port town of Rafina, namely Kokkino Limanaki and Mati, where rescuers found 26 corpses trapped just meters away from the sea,apparently hugging each other as they died.Boats also recovered corpses from the water, and rescued hundreds of people from beaches and the sea. Two people drowned when the boat rescuing them from a hotel in Mati capsized.Μore than 4,000 residents were affected by the wildfires.

The earthquake's epicenter was located in the Gorkha district, which is about 50 miles northwest of the capital city, Kathmandu. The tremors were felt across the region, including in neighboring countries like India, China, and Bangladesh. The earthquake was the worst to hit Nepal in more than 80 years, and it left a trail of destruction in its wake.

The earthquake claimed the lives of over 8,000 people and injured more than 22,000 others. The number of casualties would have been much higher if the earthquake had struck during the day when more people were out and about. However, it hit just before noon, and many people were inside their homes.

The earthquake caused widespread damage to buildings, including ancient temples, and historic landmarks. The most affected area was the Kathmandu Valley, which is home to many UNESCO World Heritage sites. The earthquake destroyed many of these sites, including the Dharahara Tower, a nine-story tower that was a popular tourist attraction.

The events of that day left the people of Nepal in a state of shock and despair. Many people lost their homes and loved ones, and they were forced to live in makeshift tents and shelters. The country's infrastructure was severely damaged, and it took several months for aid to reach the affected areas.

The government and the international community launched a massive relief effort to help the people of Nepal. Aid workers from around the world rushed to the country to provide food, water, and medical supplies to those in need. The Nepalese people showed incredible resilience and strength in the face of adversity, and they worked tirelessly to rebuild their communities.

In conclusion, the earthquake that struck Nepal in 2015 was a tragic event that had a profound impact on the country and its people. The disaster claimed thousands of lives, caused widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure, and left many people homeless. However, the resilience and strength of the Nepalese people in the aftermath of the earthquake were truly inspiring. The international community came together to provide aid and support, and the people of Nepal continue to work towards rebuilding their communities and their lives.

Totally, there are approximately 250,000 people killed after the earthquake itself, the multiple aftershocks that went on for at least twelve days and the tsunami that was recorded in the town of Petit Paradis. Proceeding to material casualties, 280,000 buildings (250,000 homes and 30,000 stores) were severely damaged by the catastrophe.

People were devastated from this unprecedented destruction. Almost all of them were pessimistic about their future, and not without reason, as the majority of the earthquake victims already lived under miserable conditions in slums, without even the basic goods. However, some of them still expressed reserved expectations, leaning on the humanitarian help.

The humanitarian aid was immense. Some nations sent medical personnel such as doctors, nurses, paramedics and rescue specialists. Others detached relief packages including food, water and other lifesaving supplies. Many humanitarian organizations and agencies provided basic necessities such as blankets, beds and tents. Countries that could not send material help consigned donations. Artists donated their earnings from concert and exhibitions and children sent their savings.

All this huge humanitarian help proved that beyond these major disasters there is always hope. Hope that derives from people helping each other and efforts put together for building residencies that fully satisfy the required seismic reliability.

     This disastrous earthquake struck the Kashmir region, a place in Pakistan. The earthquake was measured at a magnitude of 7,6. The relief effort  for the survivors was extremely difficult because of the high number of aftershocks and falling rocks. The seriousness of the damage and the huge number of dead people were worsened by poor construction in affected areas. In Kashmir, at least 79.000 people died and more than 32.000 buildings were collapsed. 

    This tragedy had an impact on people’s feelings. For those who managed to survive, they had to try and work through it. For sure, they might have psychological problems and they might have been more depressed because they lost their family and fiends. This was something that no one wants to be repeated, but it is a physical phenomenon and we will have to be ready to beat it!

Katrina originated on August 23^rd 2005 in the Bahamas and it started out as a tropical wave. Early the following day it strengthened into a tropical storm. Two days after its formation, on August 25^th, it hit Florida as a stage 1 hurricane. The next day on August 26^th Katrina entered the Gulf of Mexico and rapidly intensified into a stage 5 hurricane over the warm waters of the Gulf, before weakening into a stage 3 hurricane which hit the areas of Mississippi and Louisiana on August 29^th. The leftovers of Katrina then died over the Great Lakes on August 31^st. 

The majority of the loss of lives during the hurricane was due to flooding caused by fatal engineering flaws in the flood protection system, specifically the levee around the city of New Orleans. Eventually, 80% of the city of New Orleans, along with other large areas in neighboring parishes, were flooded for weeks. The fatalities of this hurricane are estimated to be 1,392 in total while another 135 people remain categorized as missing in Louisiana today. Lastly, the damage Katrina caused was worth an enormous amount of 108 billion USD and that’s why it is considered the most damaging hurricane in today’s history.

What the people witnessed at that time must have been extremely traumatic. So many people lost their loved ones and watched their homes, properties and lives get knocked down by that storm. It may not have lasted a long time, however the consequences to these people’s lives were gigantic and will not be forgotten. 

A 5,6 magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia on November 21, 2022.

It took place on the west coast of Indonesia's Java island at around 1.30 p.m.

Athough the magnitude was not great the damage that it caused was quite serious. Following the earthquake several minor aftershocks were felt by the local residents. Hundreds of people were buried in their homes and in other public buildings. Local residents ran to be saved but unfortunately hundred of people died and many were seriously injured. Despite the efforts of the search and resue teams people suffered many losses, material possessions and of course losing their loved ones.

What was impressive throughout this whole tragedy was the help that people offered. Charity organizations from the entire world sent volunteers to help and millions of boxes of food supplies and medical equipment were sent to help Indonesians.Once again humans proved that when help is needed in such serious situations people are always willing to give a helping hand and support each other.

This was definitely one of the deadliest earthquakes ever to strike humanity since 2018 and people in Indonesia will remember it for decades to come!!!
