Earthquake in Yogyakarta

First the eruption of Mount Merapi, which made hundreds of people flee their home, and now an earthquake that claimed more than 5.000 lives. Now the volcano is threatening again… It is amazing to see how such an earthquake made so many victims: vulnerability, a synonym of poverty?
