On Monday (06.02.2023), while people were asleep, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck close to the city of Gaziantep in southeast Turkiye around local time (01:17 GMT).
The earthquake brought down nearly 10,000 apartment blocks in Turkish cities and piled more devastation on millions of Syrians displaced by years of war.
Thousands of people have been confirmed death, with thousands more injured.
We are witnessing buildings collapsed in towns and cities throughout neighbouring nations which sparking desperate searches for survivors amid the rubble of collapsed buildings.
The situation is HORRIBLE!
While the death toll keeps growing daily, people struggle to find appropriate shelter, food, water, medicine, and blankets.
In addition, just look at the temperature, it’s -1°C! This is the condition they have to deal with. It’s very cold!
They have lost everything with no winter coat, no heater.
THEY HAVE NOTHING!
They are struggling under the rubbles, in this very strong winter condition.
Loss of loved ones, the destruction of homes and properties, and the loss of food supplies will surely be a great test for them.
