the scale of this destruction will only get worse, setting aside the death toll alone, it’s cold and people are left without a shelter, it’s already started to snow in many cities. My heart has been broken in many ways since morning, and i am exhausted from anger and worry. some are okay, some are alive but lost their homes entirely, some have been trapped under the wreckage and their families have nearly given up all hope because emergency response is sparse, ( warning: aerial pictures of collapsed buildings) especially in hatay (not only because the roads and airports have collapsed, and that the earthquake has devastated a fairly large area, but also because of political manoeuvring). I don’t live in the southeast, but we do have family friends in the affected cities. at least 10 cities have been affected directly: it’s bad, and it’s only going to get worse.
As you might have heard (or might not, as this part of the world exists in a vacuum unless you live nearby), the southeastern turkey has been hit by two massive earthquakes in less than 12 hours (magnitudes 7.8 and 7.7).
