Earthquake Threatening Israel with Potential Casualties
The article discussed Israel's preparations for the potential occurrence of a strong earthquake that could cause widespread destruction, injuries, and fatalities. Studies warn of a possibility of a major earthquake occurring every hundred years, with the last deadly quake in 1927, which resulted in the death of 300 people and thousands of injuries. Cities near the Syria and Africa faults, such as Kiryat Shmona, Tiberias, and Eilat, are among the most vulnerable areas, especially given their outdated infrastructure that may not withstand the quake’s strength. The Home Front Command has developed an emergency plan that includes scenarios involving thousands of casualties, medical drills, and emergency infrastructure measures such as hospital evacuations and the provision of alternative shelters. There are also guidelines instructing the public not to remain inside buildings during the quake, as it is expected that hundreds to thousands may be trapped or killed. Additionally, there is concern that the capacity to continue providing medical treatment during the disaster will be severely limited.
