turkey earthquake turkey news More than 1,000 people confirmed dead after huge earthquake hit Turkey and Syria – BBC News more than 1 350 people are now confirmed to have died after that powerful earthquake struck Northern Syria and South Eastern Turkey Just turkey earthquake Before Dawn its truck in the early hours and had a magnitude of 7.8

turkey’s presidenter dogan said 912 people had died and almost 600 had been injured in his country in torn Syria 326 are reported to have died in government-held areas and a further 140 in rebel-held areas where thousands of people turkey news still missing these numbers are sadly turkey earthquake expected to rise the BBC’s Emory Tamil is in Istanbul and he sent this update.

The Turkish armed forces have set up an air Corridor to enable search turkey news and rescue teams to reach the Zone affected by this major earthquake Turkish Defense turkey turkey earthquake news Minister julusiakar released a statement a short while ago saying that turkey mobilized its planes to send Medical Teams search and rescue teams and their vehicles to the earthquake zone turkey’s wise president said 284 people had been killed 2323 people were injured in 10 provinces however it appeared that.

That tool will rise because of the heavy damage in only one turkey news Province malafia Province the governor who used to shine said at least 130 buildings were tumbled turkey earthquake down in the province there were more than 70 after shocks the magnitude of the biggest one was 6.6 and as you see authorities scrambled rescue things and Supply aircraft to the affected Zone they also declared state of emergency in effective provinces and urge people not to use their mobile phones to allow Rescuers to co-ordinate all these efforts and level 4 alarm has been turkey news declared.

Which means turkey is calling for international assistance as well the chief of the Turkish Red Cross relief agency issued an appeal for blood donations obviously uh it’s in the turkey earthquake middle of winter in Turkey the weather conditions are severe that have been uh severe weather warnings before that’s why it’s a kind of racing against the time turkey news right now and rescue teams are doing their at most best to take people save the people unrulable obviously turkey is among.

The most earthquake countries in the world and at this latest turkey news turkey earthquake earthquake is the most severe earthquake in Turkey since 1991 when a similar magnitude 7.4 devastated Ismail which is close to the country’s biggest city Istanbul and heavily populated is Thermometer region and this earthquake killed more than 17000 people then obviously the government issued a new regulations following.

But now we are talking about the relatively under developed regions of turkey which has been affected by this earthquake that’s why has been fearful that lots of buildings turkey news turkey earthquake have been brough trumbled down because due to this earthquake as far as we know oil flows are continuing uh operations however at the jaehan oil terminal in southernTurkey were turkey earthquake suspended because this Eastern Mediterranean terminal is 155 kilometers away from the area.

Where the earthquake happened and turkey’s State Pipeline operator botash earlier said that natural gas laws were halted to gaussian tip which has been mostly affected City turkey earthquake and turkey news following this earthquake and 80 people out of 284 were lost their lives in the city gazi and Deputy earthquake some one who knows the area well is our turkey news Europe Regional editor Paul Moss who joins me now Paul so you’ve been to gaziantep you’ve been to diabaker.

What can you tell us about how these areas would fare in an earthquake such as this I think both of those cities are particularly bad places if such thing can be said for an earthquake to hit for different reasons diabakhir is very very beautiful but for one main reason it’s an turkey earthquake ancient city and it has lots of very old buildings I had a wonderful time wandering around its old Heart land but many of these buildings have been there for hundreds and hundreds of years one suspects.

They’re not going to far every well in the event of an earthquake I should also say this is a Kurdish City and the people there have already suffered greatly in the past few decades they were very much caught up in the ongoing between the Turkish State and the Kurdish turkey news minority so this is a place where people already have suffered because the unteps turkey earthquake different gaziantepis also an ancient city the buildings there are more modern but what gas the unteb does have is a huge number of refugees from the Syrian conflict it’s right on the border.

The population is 2 million half a million of those are refugees now they’re not in camps the vast majority are in the city itself this means the conditions are very crowded there and one can only imagine just what it’s like when one of those buildings collapses a statistic that struck turkey earthquake me we know that they’ve said1700 buildings in Turkey have been completely destroyed now which we don’t know the death toll but if you think about those buildings being destroyed.

It gives you some idea what to expect I should also say one other thing that jumped out at me was that gaziantep castle had been badly damaged now why I mention this is not just because it’s a castle this is a building that was a huge part of the city it was built by the Romans turkey earthquake that building has stood for nearly 2000 years if this earthquake was powerful enough to damage that castle very badly again one can only imagine what it’s done to the to other buildings with in the city and turkey has suffered earthquakes before.

How much therefore are they prepared for something like this given the scale of it we heard president erdogan say a little earlier that this was the biggest disaster for turkey since 1939. yeah I mean the answer is they should be prepared because of the common how turkey earthquake common earthquakes are the the last major earthquake was in 1999 people are still arguing about the death toll probably between twenty thousand and forty thousand forty five thousand now alot of buildings on that occasion collapsed when they investigators looked at them.

They found they had not been built to correct regulations the correct building standards they decided they were going to do something about this the first thing they did is prosecute lots of the builders but hardly any of those prosecutions succeeded there turkey earthquake were a lot of arguments that the authorities had ignored building regulations and that’s why the buildings collapsed so fast.

There were promises that buildings were going to be retrofitted to make them more earthquake proof I don’t think there’s been very much sign of that.

Rescuers work through night after Turkey and Syria earthquake kills thousands – BBC News

It will take several days to develop a full picture of the devastation across turkey and North west Syria but it’s highly likely the death toll which now stands at more than three and a half thousand will rise the first earthquake of 7.8 magnitude struck at 4 20 this morning turkey earthquake while most people were still in their beds 20 miles from the city of gazientep note the time strap on the footage from this security camera the shelves rattle continuously for over 40 seconds.

And that gives you a fair idea of what was happening outside the emergency teams say at least 3 000 buildings have collapsed across eight provinces in Turkey here’s the before and after at the gaziantep castle walls that have stood for over 1500 years in daylight the badly damaged housing blocks were still falling this one in urfa and then came a second earthquake nine hours later this one 7.5 magnitude along the same fault line but 60 miles further to the north 7.5 turkey earthquake would be a massive earthquake in and of itself.

The radius of the Zone affected stretches some 400 miles so the challenge for the search and rescue teams is Monumental particularly in North west Syria where the infra structure was already in fragile state after years of air strikes and bombardment there have been over 538 deaths in government-held territory Aleppo Hammer Latakia Tartus and another 400 in the turkey earthquake last opposition-held Enclave centered in idlib Province the Syrian Army has been deployed but not to idlib.

They are very much on their own we’re joined tonight by Ahmed beram from the Nor wegian Refugee Council which is among the aid groups providing support and Professor Mike Steckler he’s a geophysicist from the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University of New York Army canI talk to you first there are always three factors in an earthquake there’s turkey earthquake the depth and the location of an earthquake there’s them agnitude of the earthquake and of course there is the time and on all three measures.

This could not have been worse good evening it could I mean it’s it’s come at the worst time after mid night 4 a.m and it’s coming that in the worst turkey earthquake possible season we just uh we have just uh arrived at a powerful snow storm in in Northern Syria.

turkey earthquake for example

It come after 12 years of struggle of suffering of hardship of poverty and it’s a whole catalog of the factors that have just you know basically destroyed the little hope that people in most areas thought that they you know they had to restart a live turkey earthquake decimated in 12 years of conflict in Syria as he suggested it is particularly hard in North west Syria and in an area in Italy Province.

Where there is very little help at all in political terms what what do you as a as a refugee agency as an aid agency what do you need from president Assad what we need from from the not just the Syrian government but the whole world we need immediate support turkey earthquake we need all assistance to be thrown at this this is a moment that you know syrians have described as turkey earthquake doomsday scenario this is the end of the world for them.

It’s apocalyptic almost we need the world to stand behind these people and we need the the full weight of the world that you know they simply support that we have seen in places you know humanitarian support that we’ve seen in places like Ukraine and Afghanistan turkey earthquake we need that replicated and let’s be clear every minute that we are losing every minute every day every week we are losing more lives we are losing lives that have survived for 12 years people in their shelters their shelters you talk about you know monuments that have stood.

There for 1500 years these fragile structures you know survive 12 years of bombing explosions you know all sorts of it they couldn’t you know survive a 40 you know 40 seconds of an turkey earthquake earthquake that has you know killed displaced the ninja thousands and peasants let’s talk about the earthquake Mike because I know you’ve been studying this particular fault line for some for some years now what do you think happened well.

What’s happening in inthe area is that all of Arabia is moving North into turkey and turkey is being pushed out west and turkey is being bordered by the north Anatolian fault which I’ve been studying and East Anatolian fault and this earthquake was along the east turkey earthquake anatolian port which you know has not had a large earthquake like this for quite a while so the The Strain has been building up and finally gave way and this was a a very large earthquake for this kind of sliding.

What we call strike slip earthquake right can you explain to me because the second earthquake was 7.5 on the Richterscaleis the difference between 7.5 and 7.8 greater than the difference between 6.5 and 6.8 well it’s a logarithmic scale so it’s it’s a multiplicative Factor turkey earthquake so you know the the difference of 0.3 in the Richter Scale corresponds to probably about three times the size in terms of energy right so.

When we’re talking about point three you would feel an enormous turkey news difference between the that second earthquake and the first one but it just shows you how big the first one would have been right the first one was quite large you know it stretched for turkey earthquake probably about 150 kilometers along the fault and and went down to 30 or 40 kilometers which is quite deep for a strike slip earthquake.

And so that contributed to the to the larger size it also looks like the second earthquake was probably not on the same fault but on a slightly different fault with a slightly different orientation but when a large earthquake happens and moves the Earth by meters it puts stress on the adjacent faults and so we see large after shocks like that and we will continue to see large turkey earthquake aftershocks for the next weeks and even even months slowly decreasing in size as the Earth readjusts to the new positions.

The places on either side of the of the fault well just quick just quickly on that specific issue because we’ve got lots of search teams out tonight on very fragile structures on piles of rubble already we’ve had 30 after shocks how is there any way that you as a geophysicist turkey earthquake can advise on how long that process is likely to continue I would say it can continue for several months and turkey news there are some some rough rules of thumbs about how quickly.

They can to Decay you know so that as the after shocks continue they all tend to be smaller and eventually getless frequent right David I think Ahmed already touched on it the turkey news reality right now is that there are so many demands on International Aid Ukraine of course Pakistan Afghanistan the problems in Somalia not to mention tighter government budgets turkey earthquake How concerned would you be that past the initial search and rescue that resources internationally to deal with this will start to dry up well.

I think that’s a real problem I was struck by reading of these two sets amazing report from northern Syria earlier that our entire political and media world is so nationalistic we look at borders between countries uh these events of course don’t respect any of those false political turkey news borders we put between countries and we’re just not capable of making quick decisions to to get the help to the people.

turkey earthquake the big disaster

That we need to ir respective of the financial element and I was just thinking to to that building that we saw there in order forum several hours after the earthquake that comes down and you see traffic going past the building that there’s no Rhyme or Reason to turkey news which buildings come down and mentally that takes an enormous toll on a community it’ll remind Americans of 9 11 when those buildings came down.

It was a very similar in the in the close proximity of those buildings but of course I don’t think any of us in in the west have any understanding really of the scale of this and uh it’ll be interesting you know in the US uh give it 48 hours it will probably drop out of the media here in the UK a little bit longer because of the BBC’s coverage but that’s the real problem is how quickly.

This drops away from the Consciousness in the west I remember covering the tsunami Marianne and I was in Indonesiain bandarache and it really does start to play on your mind the after shocks infact I literally was waking up at night thinking I was in and After shockit’s mentally it’s exhausting for people who of course don’t knows whether they can ever go back to their homes and of course might be on some of these building sites trying to find trying to find loved ones and name and Friends and that’s on top of the fact thatpeople who live there now.

Were struggling every day to begin with I mean this is a gargantuan problem it’s acatastrophe on top of a tragedy on top of a on top of a disaster and to hold the Public’s attention let alone get there sources to them is a huge task but it has to be done and I know the United States has already sent search teams I know they’re sending other resources and I have to say the one thing one of the many things zielinski has done so well with Ukraine is to keep.

It in front of people to keep it in front of the media and turkey Syria and the other areas that were affected by this have to find some way to do the same turkey news even though it’s our responsibility as Global Citizens to help these people that need everything and even then it’s hard to imagine it would make a dent in this I mean how difficult will it be just getting Aid into to Northern Syria because obviously there’s only one Corridor in and that turkey news comes through.

Turkey and we look looking at some of the roads some of the pictures of the roads and there’s extensive damage indeed I mean it had been already I mean we started talking about this obviously weeks ago with the on set ofthe winter crisis only last week we you know we had a massive storm started and across the region including in areas around Syria of course the whether it’s gonna make it much more complicated for all of us.

But we are we are on the ground as an agency as anaid agency and we are in you know with in these communities whether that is in Aleppo Midland across student we are on standby of course we are we will you know we let Rescuers do their job and we don’t over lap but we are we will you know our role is gonna follow through and ofcourse.

Is vital that we mobilize resources and that you know should come from you know powerful Nations that have the tools the you know that have the resources they just need the willum we just need a political will here we need an international world to mobilize resources we have people who are you know embedded in these communities in these in these you know we know we’re talking turkey news about you know our staff our colleagues are on the ground very close from the scene.

They themselves have been affected of course like everyone else but we are ready to do our job we just need the support and as you’ll turkey news you know get guests are you know I’ve mentioned I mean sadly it takes a disaster for the world to to you know turn that attention to the Middle turkey news East it takes a disasterin Lebanon to you know someone to wake up and then you know understand there’s a disaster there same in you know in Syria so.

It is difficult but it’s not impossible and just on that issue Marian I mean there is a complicating geopolitical Factor here of course Russia is working with Syria in North west Syria and of course America would work with its NATO partner turkey but but how difficult will it be for the likes of us aid to go in and help people in Italy Province or in Aleppo or wherever it is in North west Syria well I think the statement was already made it takes political will and I and these are human beings there are fellow citizens around the world.

We can’t allow politics to Define these things just like earthquakes don’t respect any borders we have to help people and it’s incumbent upon the United States who always takes the lead in many of these things to Marshal the will of the people around the world the countries around the world to help.

Here because it is needed and it is going to be needed for a long time so it turkey news has to be done thoughts this blog and of course we will keep you up to date turkey news with any developments that we hear in Turkey those rescue efforts continuing through the turkey news night.

turkey news BID DISASTER IN THE HISTORY OF TURKEY AND SYRIA

In the early morning hours of February 6th of 2023, a major earthquake struck a section of south central Turkey At 4:17 am local time, this earthquake occurred, which registered in as a magnitude 7.8, markingTurkey’s largest earthquake since 1939 when a comparable magnitude quake occurred. This 2023 quake was centered 1 kilometer east of the city of Atalar.

The damage it generated could best be described as far ranging and extreme, as thousands of buildings completely collapsed, many of which pan caked. The peak ground acceleration caused by the quake was likely even higher than the average acceleration due to gravity on Earth at least for a time in some areas Large after shocks soon followed, including a magnitude 6.7 quake.

Which as an isolated event would have been still quite devastating, occurring 11 minutes after the magnitude 7.8 quake Numerous after shocks then followed which seemed to indicate that a several hundred kilometer stretch of a major fault line had ruptued, perhaps as much as 250 kilometers in length If all of this wasn’t bad enough, a magnitude turkey news 7.5 earthquake struck approximately 9 hours later, causing several already damaged structures to collapse.

Strangely enough, these two magnitude 7 earthquakes were not the result of a phenomenon known as a “doublet” earthquake, as doublet earthquakes occur on the same fault line. Rather, the first major earthquake caused a completely separate fault line to rupture. This is best shown via displaying all of the earthquakes which have occurred of magnitude 5.0 or higher since the sequence began. You can see two separate trends. One trends to the north east while the other trends directly east.

Despite involving two different faults, both of these large earthquakes occurred due to the same reason. In this section of Asia, the Arabian Plate is colliding with the turkey news Anatolian Plate. This has not turkey news created a subduction zone but rather a series of so-called strike-slip faults which primarily move horizontally rather than vertically, producing large earthquakes about once every 150 years in this section of the fault in a manner similar to the famous San Andreas fault.

In this case it involved a large rupture of the East Anatolian Fault, which may have moved as much as 8 meters or 26 feet in certain areas. The second major earthquake involved the turkey news Çardak Fault, which was seemingly triggered by strain release of the East Anatolian Fault. Both faults subsequently had major after shocks with the largest single afte rshock after alarge earthquake being an average of 1.2 magnitudes less than the main larger quake. In this case the East Anatolian Fault 7.8 was followed by a magnitude 6.7 after shock turkey news.

And, the Çardak Fault which produced a magnitude 7.5 was followed by a magnitude 6.0 after shock. More aftershocks will continue for days, weeks, and possibly months but there is some good news.Over time, these will get less and less frequent. Yet, as of the writing of this blod 34 magnitude 4s, 16 magnitude 5s, and 2 magnitude 6 after shocks have occurred. Due to the severity of this disaster, it is quite likely that the death toll will surpass 5,000 and that economic damage could cost upwards of 30 billion U.S. dollars.

Interestingly, this earthquake series may have even generated a several centimeter high non destructive tsunami on the west coast of Turkey, possibly due to some form of land slide occurring. As a final note, there is no reason to suspect that this earthquake series will trigger a turkey news volcanic eruption at any of Turkey’s volcanoes, despite the fact that an 1840 earthquake which was in the magnitude 7 range triggered a deadly volcanic eruption and lahar at Mount Ararat.

turkey news At the present, none of Turkey’s volcanoes are showing signs which could be considered worrying, although Mount Erciyes’s edifice has been the site of several small turkey news earthquakes triggered by the quake sequence. This is not a cause for concern as similar short term increases in quakes at volcanoes often occur after larger distant earthquakes.

Global National: all people are tyring to help homeless.

Dozens of cities in southern turkey and Northern Syria the first hit just after 4 a.m while people were still a sleep the lucky managed to escape and then nine hours later another one.

This journalist was reporting live when Panic struck again foreigns collapsed and through the dust the camera keeps rolling the crew helps a mother get her children out more than number has already surpassed thirteen thousand.

Here’s where it happened the epicenter of the initial quake 7.8 in magnitude was near gazian tap in Southeastern turkey and was felt as far away as Lebanon and Israel the second the magnitude 7.5 hit along the same fault line just 100 kilometers North plus there have been multiple turkey news powerful aftershocks right across the region search teams that managed to make it to.

turkey news adding to what is already a night mare scenario on the ground our coverage tonight begins with Mike drou let the sun had yet to rise on southeastern turkey.

The fate of their parents unknown Witnesses say the 7.8 magnitude Quake one of the largest ever recorded in Turkey in Northern Syria shook the ground for two solid minutes safety in Northern Syria buildings already damaged from 11 years of crumbled this family like so many others has no idea.

the way turkey says it had offers of assistance from 45 countries but the window to pull survivors from the rubble is quickly closing and the situation is even more dire in turkey news Syria Toronto’s turkey news Global medic pulled its operations from the area several years ago they are so over matched right now with.

heavy equipment are essential too as Redmond Shannon reports many of those caught in.

The devastation had already lost everything during the war in Syria a father in consolable his new born baby did not survive I’m waiting to pull out my brother and his seven children says this man in Northern Syria expecting that none of them have survived many of those affected across the border in Turkey are also syrians who fled the like had team El Abdullah.

We had this situation before when a military airplane they opened the houses and they fallen down so it’s almost same feeling her team and his family spent much.

Who couldn’t return to her badly damaged home my family and my grandmother turkey news my father family because they are stay with us like we’re still wearing our clothes because we’re still ready to go out a team says his family doctor is dead and a close friend living in hatai province is missing you can easily see the line of the earthquake ruining exactly a series of Apartments more at Aslan lives in gaziantep.

there’s a great number of people right now and exactly we don’t know it I mean how many people are under the buildings we don’t know that even the small.

Global News turkey

The catastrophic disaster that hit the areas in North western Syria is still ongoing as the as the severe earthquake has started from a third project to the areas in North western

The civilians from a dangerous areas officials stated that no official and defined turkey news statistics have been published due to the continuation of the death toll is still on known the wide spread damages across the areas of Northwestern Syria made the response even more complicated for the civil defense and other ngos we’re currently moving from one area into another to cover.

What Canada’s prime minister said today our hearts go out to the families the communities deeply affected by this terrible terrible event Canada is looking at how.

of people trapped underneath buildings and it’s very cold right now in turkey news turkey that means their time is running out I spoke with a senior Turkish Source today.

to 72 hours without needing sustainment and they’re experts at Urban search and rescue being able to dig through the buildings that have collapsed to pull people out and to use heavy equipment but the sources.

they are a national Disaster Response Team based out of Calgary.

to ask them to go of course in that case they potentially could deploy turkey news but that’s not a standard activity it’s something that could be looked at by the federal government.

help the people who might have a chance to survive other requests that have come in from the Turkish government include cold weather equipment because people are freezing

help and then of course they’re also looking for Medical Teams now in terms of what else the Canadian government actually could Supply most of it is.

but they could be sent in this case they can do things like water purification and they can also help on the medical Side Medical Teams of course another clear one the military has doctors and nurses.

even ships as a hospital ship but at this point I’m being told that all that’s been done is Staff checks that’s where they ask the military what’s available.

The fastest things they could do or potentially send the military but it may be turkey news more likely at this point that they are looking at helping with the recovery and rebuilding than the rescue okay we’ll kee Mercedes Stevenson in Ottawa well it was not even close to the scale of what’s happened in Turkey.

But people in parts of Ontario felt some shaking about 8 A.M Eastern a small earthquake hit near the Canada U.S border it was a 3.8 magnitude the epicenter was.

The eve of the premier’s talking Health Care with the Prime Minister we have new polling about how Canadians feel about turning to the private sector that’s coming up with the premiers.

The feds will offer the provinces a 10-year agreement and that money is going to be split into two separate pots the first one will be to increase the Canada likely short of.

What the province has been asking for which is the federal government paying for 35 percent of Health Care respect a deal despite that even some of the prime minister’s biggest provincial critics are optimistic a compromise can be found we’re sitting down tomorrow to see.

turkey news what is turkey news before us I think everyone is going in with an open mind the Prime Minister echoing that positive sentiment if this is going to be a work that we’re going to continue doing over the coming weeks as we recognize.

That different provinces have different needs and different priorities and that flexibility is an important part of ourselves despite talking about flexibility Trudeau is set to put a minimum of two conditions on the money tomorrow the first one will be the provinces need to share data amongst themselves and with the feds to try and improve out comes.

The public system so using federal dollars to expand deals with for-profit clinics like we recently saw Ontario Premier Doug Ford do is off the table but despite the positivity between all sides on a funding frame work going forward okay Mackenzie gray and Ottawa thanks.

Well health care and lack of Access to Health Care is top of mind for Canadians new polling done exclusively for Global News suggests more Canadians are willing to consider what turning to the private for-profit system might look like Catherine Ward reports we’ve come out at the turkey news other end with people feeling much less confident in the ability of the Health Care system to deliver.

The services they may need when they need them long hailed as a key part of the Canadian identity for the most part it’s pretty much free here in Canada new data indicates the system has become a source of frustration I don’t like having to wait so long to get services and Desperation I think the Health Care system is very broken polling done.

The services they may need when they need them long hailed as a key part of the Canadian identity for the most part it’s pretty much free here in Canada new data indicates the system has turkey news become a source of frustration I don’t like having to wait so long to get services and Desperation I think the Health Care system is very broken polling done.

That they are in favor of Private health care for those who are able to afford it a shift in turkey news opinions ipsos CEO Daryl Bricker says he hasn’t seen in.

turkey news things worse we are not going to be able to manufacture more doctors more turkey news Hospital titles more health services and so the people who have trouble right.

Now getting access to service are going to have an even bigger problem getting access to those Services a move towards more privatized services will increase the disparity of Health outcomes for the rich and the poor Dr Danielle Raza says investments in not-for-profit care outside the hospital in team-based primary care and in community services like Physio and long-term care would go a long way.

They’ve seen it Health care is a political football and I think most of us are tired of people handing it off Catherine Ward Global News Toronto democracy activists on trial ahead the largest national security case begins in Hong Kong’s largest national security trial has begun a hearing.

turkey news people were killed in ismet but there’s been nothing like this 7.8 magnitude quake in more than 80 years the epicenters of the main quake and a second major Quake happened.

I think we can expect the the death toll to uh to increase significantly there’s been a lot of building collapses and it’ll increase more significantly around the turkey news epicenter of of the earthquake the Earth is enveloped by the cracked piece of the Earth’s crust tectonic plates that push and slide against each other turkey sits on the small Anatolian.

The Eurasian plate and the East Anatolian fault line against the Arabian plate turkey news where this earthquake happened pressure builds over turkey news years and finally gives and this time.

was spread over a large area in South eastern turkey and turkey news Northern Syria the ancient and fortified Citadel in Aleppo Syria that has stood for centuries has sustained serious.

But whatever the construction standards this Quake has flattened thousands of buildings and it’s in or near buildings where most people are killed and injured when you see.

It’s just you know earthquakes are really strong and no matter how well you build a building it might collapse the last time turkey had a 7.8 magnitude Quake was 1939 for this Monday I’m Donna Friesen we leave you tonight with more images from the earthquake zone where search crews are working against time.

Turkey and Syria earthquake deaths top 7,000

But we do want to begin over seas as timeis running out for victims buried turkey news inturkey and Syria after that massive earthquake with a death toll at nearly 8000 officials are warning the end of acritical three-day time frame to rescue people is approaching and there are freezing conditions that are making the search effort even more difficult and we’re seeing these heartbreaking scenes.

Cbs’s Chris livesay is going to start us off tonight from the Quake Zone in turkey that is quite a scene right behind you that’s right Nora the devastation is hard to Fathom nearly 6 000 buildings destroyed just like this one behind me where the rescue effort goes on and according to UNICEF thousands of children could be trapped or killed beneath buildings just like.

This one across the devastated area but tonight there are also extraordinary images turkey news of babies surviving despite impossible odds in an instant Holmes transformed into tombs and then life at.

While trapped beneath the rubble Rescuers are able to save the new turkey news born girl her umbilical cord still attached but couldn’t reach the mother in time astonishing scenes that push.

That’s been turkey news reduced to dust Rescuers tell us they pulled 35 people dead from the rebel only one Survivor a little girl now in the ICU and the rescue effort goes on on lookers and Rescuers hope to find traces of their loved ones like izmet oz-chan a lawyer as time goes by do you have any turkey news hope that they’re alive probably called so much right now if they’re alive and it’s they have no water or something to eat to warm up.

Their body yeah their chance is decreasing but volunteers are desperate to help like those flooding Istanbul’s airport more than 20 thousand are already racing to find life however getting.

These first three days are crucialit’s what search and rescue experts call The Golden period in which the chances are highest of finding survivors beneath the rubble like right behind turkey news me and for the next three months the president hasde clared the devastated area a national Disaster Area Nora Chris live say right there on the scene thank you so much turkey news.
