Two die in earthquake on Italian island

A doctor and an officer from the Italian Carabinieri police force carry a child Aug. 22 after an earthquake hit Ischia, Italy. The earthquake rattled the Italian resort island at the peak of tourist season the evening of Aug. 21, killing at least two people and trapping others under collapsed homes.

ROME – One of the two women who died when an earthquake struck the Italian island of Ischia was killed by falling debris from a 19th-century church. The other died in her home, which was destroyed by the quake Aug. 21.
