Turkey Earthquake 2023

Situation Overview:

On February 6, 2023, a magnitude 7.8 Earthquake shook southern Turkiye (Turkey) and was followed by many aftershocks, one being a 7.5 major earthquake itself just 9 hours later. Many buildings have fallen throughout several cities killing thousands, and thousands more are injured.  Fears that death toll is expected to rise as rescuers are trying to reach scores of people still trapped under rubble.  The cold winter conditions are making the situation worse as hundreds of thousands are now outside due to their homes being collapsed or structurally unsound and dangerous to enter.
