[ Athens] On September 7th at 2:56 p.m. local time, a strong
earthquake of magnitude 5.9 on the Richter Scale occurred in the
north of Athens, the capital city of Greece. The center of the earthquake
was in the north suburban area of Athens. This was the most severe
earthquake to occur in Athens in decades, causing injury and death
to more than five hundred people, destroying many buildings and
leaving thousands of people homeless. It also caused severe damage
to the electric power supply and communication system of Athens.
Luckily, some famous ancient Greek relics showed no obvious traces
of damage.
Upon learning the news of the quake, Supreme Master Ching Hai immediately contributed $10,000 US dollars for Greek earthquake relief work through the local Red Cross. A copy of the receipt is shown below.
