Pregnant nurse among seven dead in major Sicily explosion

Rescuers have freed the body of a pregnant nurse from the rubble of collapsed buildings in Sicily, after a massive explosion killed at least seven people

The blast was likely caused by a gas leak, and tore through four residential buildings in the southern town of Rava-Noosa.

A survivor has described the event “as if a bomb had gone off”.

Meanwhile one local resident said “neighbours had told me there was a smell of gas”.

Sicily is one of Italy’s poorest regions, which suffers from sub-standard and ageing infrastructure.

Many homes and other structures constructed in past decades were built using cheap, sub-par materials that make them more prone to collapse.

Some medical professionals say it can be helpful for people with post-traumatic stress disorder — which is why a group has been fighting to get MDMA legalized as a prescription drug.

Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing an application to use MDMA to treat PTSD. The agency is expected to announce its ruling as soon as August.
