Santorini Earthquakes Prompt State of Emergency and Mass Evacuations

Santorini, the iconic Greek island known for its whitewashed buildings and volcanic cliffs, is experiencing a surge in seismic activity. Thousands of tremors, including a 5.2 magnitude quake, have forced over 11,000 people to evacuate. Experts warn that the earthquakes could persist for months, with a risk of a larger quake. The Greek government has declared a state of emergency, allocating £2.5m for evacuation efforts.

Santorini, historically shaped by volcanic eruptions, last experienced a major earthquake in 1956. Authorities remain on high alert as seismic activity continues.
