About the Twin Terror Earthquakes Anniversary
Science & Math , Safety & Security
Eastern Europe , Middle East/West Asia
Ends: Feb 06, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
On February 6, 2023, twin earthquakes, one at Gaziantep (7.8 magnitude) at 4 AM local time and the second eight hours later centered in Kahramanmarhas, Turkey (7.5 magnitude), rocked the region, destroying over 16,000 buildings and killing at least 5,000 people within the first 24 hours. The twin terror tremors represent the most significant quakes in Turkey since 1939's Erzincan earthquake, which killed 33,000 people.
Structural damage and casualties remain concentrated in southeastern Turkey and northwestern Syria. Freezing overnight temperatures and hundreds of aftershocks continue to thwart rescue efforts, leaving thousands of people buried in the rubble and existing structures unsafe in both nations. Syria's ongoing war and sanctions against the government have made getting aid and rescue into that country difficult, despite over 50 nations sending rescue teams, assistance, and supplies.
Turkey's leadership has declared a 90-day state of emergency. The ultimate death and casualty toll is expected to reach tens of thousands. Syria's leadership has yet to do so and has thus far refused most foreign aid.
