| Video Discription | tv reporter Marco Petruzzelli The 2001 Gujarat earthquake occurred on January 26, 2001, at 03:17 UTC, and coincided with the 51st celebration of India's Republic Day. The location of the epicentre was Bhuj (23.6° N 69.8° E) Gujarat, India. With a moment magnitude (Mw) of between 7.6 and 8.1, the quake killed more than 20,000 people and injured another 167,000 and destroyed near a million homes throughout Gujarat and parts of eastern Pakistan.[3] The earthquake is considered an intraplate earthquake because it occurred a great distance from any plate boundary, where the theory of plate tectonics says most earthquakes of this size happen. Because of this, this area was not completely prepared for an earthquake of such size. It happened because of tectonic plates releasing pressure in the area after a collision margin took place. A collision margin is where two continental plates collide and begin to rub, creating lots of pressure, until eventually it is released and creates an earthquake. Gujarat Earthquake, India: While the aftershocks of the earthquake still rocked the state, Art of Living volunteers opened their hearts and homes to victims - turning their homes into communal kitchens for entire neighborhoods and providing comfort and help wherever they could. Over 100,000 people were provided with food, shelter and trauma counselling in the aftermath. The Art of Living family came together to rebuild 16 schools and adopted one village for complete reconstruction. The final death toll in Kutch was 12,220. Bhuj, situated only 20 kilometres (14 miles) from the epicenter, was devastated. Considerable damage also occurred in Bhachau. Over a million structures were damaged or destroyed, including many historic buildings and tourist attractions.[4] The quake destroyed around 90% of homes, eight schools, two hospitals and 4 km of road in Bhuj and partly destroyed the city's historic Swaminarayan temple. In Ahmedabad, Gujarat's commercial capital with a population of 4.6 million, as many as 50 multi-storied buildings collapsed and several hundred people were killed. Total property damage was estimated at $5.5 billion and rising. The quake destroyed 80% of usable food and water supplies in Kutch. |
