Firefighters on the Italian resort island of Ischia first freed a 7-month-old baby and then his two older brothers from the rubble on Tuesday, working through the night and often by hand to rescue the children after a 4.0- magnitude quake toppled homes and other buildings on the island.
At least two people were killed in the quake that struck just before 9 PM (1900 GMT) yesterday, while another 39 were injured and some 2,600 were left homeless. ‘
The victims were an elderly woman who was in a church that crumbled in the quake, and a second person who was located in the rubble but had not yet been extracted.
