As the tremor continues, the evacuation of Santorini Island in Greece continues

Athens - Hundreds of people are expected to leave Greece's island of Santorini on Wednesday as Tremors rocked the popular summer tourist destination on Day 6.

About 10,000 people have remained on ferries and planes in recent days as hundreds of small earthquakes have been registered in the surrounding sea, shaking buildings, kicking dust on the island’s rocky cliffs and causing people to take the big picture. Earthquake concerns.

In the summer, the island’s population swelled, when millions of tourists visited traditional white painting villas on steep hillsides. The 2021 census has given Santorini a permanent population of 15,000, so given that the island is off-season, the island may remain on the island.

Authorities have taken security measures, including stopping construction, closing schools in Santorini and nearby iOS islands, Amogos and Anafi, as well as ordering residents and hotels to clear pools to ease the burden on the ground.

Government officials and seismologists meeting Wednesday assessed the high risks of the situation, including near Athinios, the island's main port, which serves about 1.5 million passengers a year.

Local authorities have limited access to certain high-risk areas, and in emergencies, first responders, ships and helicopters are on alert.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Wednesday: "The entire national mechanism has been activated...so we can prepare for any possibility and hope that things will get better, the phenomenon Will reduce the intensity.”

Due to the ocean's ocean, two ferry routes from Pireas Port to Santorini have been cancelled. Bad weather is not expected to damage six Aegean flights, including two emergency flights scheduled for Wednesday.

Seismologists estimate that while locals and government officials said the shocks were reduced on Wednesday, high seismic activity could take days or weeks to alleviate.

“There is not much wavering today, and I have felt nothing since 0400 (0200GMT)," said Nikos Sakorafos, a travel agency in the popular tourist village of Fira.

“Now, it’s the death season on the island, and most people don’t have jobs, so it’s easier for them to leave.”

Greece is one of the most prone countries in Europe because it is located on the border of Africa and Eurasian tectonic plates, and its continuous interaction will prompt frequent earthquakes.

Around 1600 BC, Santorini took its current shape after one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history. The last eruption in the area occurred in 1950.
