Nunavut's neighbour, Greenland, is in shock and mourning over an early June 18 tsunami and earthquake, which left two people seriously injured, seven slightly injured and four people still missing on the northwestern coast of the island. Eleven houses in the village of Nuugaatsiaq, population about 100, were completely destroyed, with several swept out to sea. Meanwhile, the power in Nuugaatsiaq went out because the power plant was one of the buildings affected. People around Greenland started to donate clothes and other items to people who lost their homes and belongings, while many in Nuuk gathered to pray for those impacted by the disaster. Evacuations by helicopter continued June 18 from Illorsuit and Nuugaatsiaq to Uummanaaq due the possibility of further after-shocks and waves. Greenland's Prime Minister Kim Kielsen said June 18 on Facebook that "it's hard to believe what happened last night. After the earthquake in Nuugaatsiaq we were made aware that the forces of nature can suddenly change...what happened is tragic and my thoughts are with everyone from Nuugaatsiaq." The Geological Survey of Denmark has confirmed that an earthquake of a magnitude of about 4.0 on the Richter scale near the village of Nuugaatsiaq, 30 kilometres from the centre of the earthquake.
