Massive earthquake in Turkey kills thousands

Postby Duane 3NE 2NR » February 6th, 2023, 9:04 am

A rescue operation is under way across much of southern Turkey and northern Syria following a huge earthquake that has killed more than 1,700 people

The 7.8 magnitude quake struck near Gaziantep in the early hours of Monday while people were asleep

A new 7.5-magnitude tremor hit at around 13:30 local time (10:30 GMT), which officials said was "not an aftershock"

Turkish state media is reporting more than 1,000 people were killed in Turkey alone after the first quake, with more than 5,300 wounded

Syrian authorities are reporting 783 dead and more than 2,000 injured

Rescuers are racing to save people trapped beneath the rubble after hundreds of buildings collapsed in both countries

World leaders have pledged to send aid after Turkey issued an international appeal for help

Millions of people across Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus and Israel felt the earthquake

^ When I went to sleep at 1am casualties were in the low numbers but I was like I am going to wake up to a number in the thousands and this will surely rise as the days and week passes.

Terrifying. Entire buildings fall like Jenga while people were sleeping.
A great loss for Turkiye.

The one that hit us a few years ago. We just lucky it wasnt in a built up area, but fairly in inhabited. If it had struck in a town, the scene would be reminiscent.

7's is real pressure.
2500 so far, every week at least thst amount dues, as sudden excess deaths, with no explanation

Death toll passes 7,800

The latest death toll from Monday’s catastrophic earthquake has passed 7,800.

In Turkey, 5,894 people are confirmed to have been killed, while 1,932 people have died in Syria for a combined total of 7,826 fatalities. There are fears that the toll will rise inexorably, with World Health Organization officials estimating up to 20,000 may have died.

Ironic that some of the first aid to arrive in Turkey have been from countries Erdogan loves to hate - Israel, India and KSA.

More Than 11,000 Dead as of Wednesday.

Turkiye has always been a very active tectonic region in human history with high earthquake death tolls. 17,127 died in 1999 and 32,700 deaths recorded in the 1939 earthquake. In 115 AD it's estimated that 260,000 people died during the Antioch earthquake and 250,000 died in the 526 AD one.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earthquakes_in_Turkey
