RHUN AP IORWERTH outlines Plaid Cymru’s immediate and medium-term policy goals
MATERIALS can behave in strange and complicated ways we don’t understand. Nothing could make that clearer than the tragic and horrifying loss of life in the earthquakes last week that killed tens of thousands of people across southern Turkey and northern Syria.
The largest earthquake in Turkey since 1939 flattened cities across the region. The final death toll is predicted to be more than 50,000. Even the ground itself, and the hard bedrock that makes it up, has vast and complex networks of tension.
Earthquakes are incredibly difficult to predict, although doing this would allow for mass evacuations that could save thousands of lives.
