Turkey and Syria earthquake
Indeed, it is the worst natural disaster to hit Turkey and northern Syria since 1939, an earthquake of seven-point-eight or seven-point-eight on the Richter scale. Imagine that it was 17 km deep underground, striking 17 km deep.
Areas hit by the earthquake Turkey and Syria
The first blow of the earthquake was in that area, and at four o'clock in the morning, Turkish time, the earthquake hit the Kahramanmaras region in southern Turkey.
Here was its epicenter, but of course it extends, and its intensity is seven degrees, seven. It extends to the entire continent much further.
As for the most affected cities in Turkey, they are in the province of Hatay, Charlie Urfa, and the city of Gaziantep. Imagine that the city of Gaziantep is less than 100 kilometers away from Aleppo, Syria. Aleppo is the economic capital of the country, the crowded city with the largest population density.
This means that an earthquake struck. Aleppo, Idlib, and Lattakia in Syria, the situation was catastrophic there for reasons that you know in the north of Syria. The pictures and videos that spread were terrifying.
These terrifying moments, from which I review some of the videos filmed by locals of rubble scenes in Turkey. Other pictures showed that we see buildings in Syrian cities as a result of this earthquake. God is great. God is great.
Greater, God is greater, in constant change. We are constantly updating these numbers until this moment in Turkey only, and the number of victims has reached 1,498 dead and more than 8,500 injured in general.
Syria in the areas controlled by the regime and the areas controlled by the opposition so far, there are 830 dead. Of course, the rescue teams rushed to the places of destruction, and pictures of people stuck under the rubble spread, and the calls for help were terrifying.
