Alonissos

As part of the Umbrella campaign to reach remote communities, pediatricians volunteered to travel to remote municipalities around Greece to vaccinate children and inform parents.

An overnight earthquake measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale was felt as far as Athens and many other parts of the country at 1:49 a.m.

According to the Athens Geodynamic Institute, the tremor was centered 32 kilometers east of Alonissos and 134 kilometers north-northeast of Athens, and had a depth of 13 kilometers.

The municipality of Alonissos in cooperation with the Mediterranean SOS Network and MOm (Hellenic Society for the Study and Protection of the Monk Seal)  launced an ambitious program today, entitled Alonissos  without plastic bags’, and became the first island to abolish the use of plastic bags.
