Rescue Efforts Continue Overnight Following Earthquake

Italian emergency services said they rescued an infant and a newborn baby from the rubble of a collapsed building on August 22, following a 4.3 magnitude earthquake in Ischia on August 21.

Two people were confirmed dead and dozens others injured after the three-mile-deep earthquake struck around six miles northwest of the island at around 8 pm local time, according to local reports.
