On the divided Mediterranean island of Cyprus, where abandoned and dilapidated buildings are reminders of crisis and conflict, recent seismic activity has residents worried.
A powerful earthquake in the Aegean Sea levelled buildings in nearby Turkey and Greece in late October, killing over 100 people.
Another quake this month, whose epicentre was 130 kilometres (80 miles) north of the island, even shook the inland capital of Nicosia, Europe s last divided capital.
Cypriots have begun to sound the alarm. Seriously damaged houses are a danger for public safety, especially in case of an earthquake, said Andreas Theodotou, president of the Cyprus Association of Civil Engineers.
