A 6.7-magnitude earthquake has killed two people on the Greek island of Kos, according to officials.

The quake hit seven miles north-east of Kos in the Aegean Sea, close to the Turkish border.

Around 120 others were injured as a result of the quake, which hit the popular Brit travel spot at 01:31 on Friday morning.

Back in January Italy was also hit with four strong earthquakes and an avalanche in just 24 hours.

The magnitudes of the quakes varied between 5.3 and 5.7. The Metro in Rome was evacuated, rail services are suspended and schools closed as a result.

These devastating quakes have hit despite Turkey and Italy being classed as "low risk" in terms of natural disasters, according to the 2016 World Risk Report compiled by the United Nations University for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS).

The report ranks countries as very low, low, middle, high or very high and Greece comes in as "middle" was a score of 6.7%.

The data has revealed which countries are most and least likely to experience natural disasters – and therefore which are the most and least dangerous travel destinations for tourists.

The World Risk Report assigned a risk percentage to a total of 171 countries, based on the chances of experiencing earthquakes, storms, floods, droughts and sea level rises.

The WorldRiskIndex is intended to give answers to four key questions:

1. How likely is an extreme natural event, and will it affect people?2. How vulnerable are people to natural hazards?3. To what extent can societies cope with acute disasters?4. Is a society taking preventive measures to face natural hazards to be reckoned with in the future?

Taking all this into account, the World Risk Index 2016 found that the global hotspots for a high disaster risk lie in Oceania, Southeast Asia, Central America, and the Southern Sahel.

Russia, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Italy were ranked as "low risk". And countries including Grenada, Finland, Malta and Singapore were in the "very low" risk category.

Vanuatu was ranked as the most dangerous country with a natural disaster risk of 36.28%, while Qatar was the safest with just a 0.08%.

"Countries like the Solomon Islands (ranked 6th), Papua-New Guinea (ranked 10th), and Guinea-Bissau (ranked 15th) are all very strongly exposed to natural hazards and, owing to their poor economic and social situations, particularly vulnerable," the report reads.

The string of horrific terror attacks in 2016 has left everyone worried about their own safety. And in the past year many Brits have cancelled holidays to destinations like Turkey and Spain, following atrocities.

To help confused Brits, The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has released information on which countries are currently considered a high-risk of terrorism status and which are a very low risk.

Some of the most popular British tourist destinations – including Spain, France, Turkey, Tunisia and Belgium – have all been classed as dangerous due to recent events.

While peaceful countries like Chile, New Zealand and Iceland all have a very low threat.
