Sadly, since the L'Aquila earthquake struck in the early hours of Monday the death toll has now risen to 294. The number of homeless people in tent city who haven't been given a hotel room or have been unable to find family & friends to stay with stands at 17,000, there are another 1000 who are in the make-shift field hospitals. If you are looking to help the people of L'Aquila and the little hill villages where a lot of the elderly live these are the quickest ways to help those most affected by L'Aquila's earthquake.
