A Greek island known for its stunning beauty and popular social media hashtag, “Instagram Island”, is struggling to evacuate residents amid a series of powerful earthquakes that have struck the area over four days. The Greek island of Santorini has experienced more than 200 earthquakes since Sunday, causing widespread damage and disrupting transportation.
Despite efforts by multiple airlines to add more flights off the island, many residents are finding it difficult to leave their homes. The situation is particularly challenging for tourists and locals alike, with limited access to information on flight schedules and availability.
The earthquakes have also raised concerns about the stability of the island’s infrastructure, with some areas experiencing landslides and power outages. Emergency services are working to respond to the situation, but the scale of the disaster is being felt by those trying to evacuate.
With the situation ongoing, the Greek government and rescue teams continue to work towards a safe evacuation process for those affected by the earthquakes.
