Life inside the Dutch earthquake zone - Gas extraction in the northern Dutch region of Groningen has for years caused earthquakes that have made homes unsafe

By Anna Holligan and Kate Vandy @ BBC News (1 July 2022)

Extraction of this rich resource from the northern region of Groningen has caused thousands of earthquakes and reduced entire neighbourhoods to building sites resembling disaster zones. It was meant to end in 2024, but now the war in Ukraine means even that hope is crumbling.
