Huge sinkhole opens up in Naples

A giant sinkhole has opened up in Naples, in Italy.

The huge hole is 10 metres (33 ft) wide and has forced more than 300 to leave their homes for safety.

A smaller crater first appeared a few days ago, but a broken water pipe and heavy rain caused the ground to give way, creating a larger crater.
