No immediate casualties reported as another earthquake strikes Turkey
There are new reports of collapsed buildings in Syria Monday after another powerful earthquake struck Turkey’s Hatay province which was devastated by a massive tremor two weeks ago.
The magnitude 7.8-earthquake which struck Feb. 6 has killed nearly 45,000 people in Turkey and Syria. Turkish authorities have recorded more than 6,000 aftershocks since.Some media outlets in Syria’s Idlib and Aleppo regions that were badly affected by the new, 6.4 magnitude earthquake are reporting that some buildings have collapsed and that electricity and internet services have been interrupted in parts of the region.
The Centre for Disease Prevention and Controls said that “food and water-borne diseases, respiratory infections and vaccine-preventable infections are a risk in the upcoming period, with the potential to cause outbreaks, particularly as survivors are moving to temporary shelters.” “We will secure the affected people within our capabilities, but after a while, it is not possible to continue placing families in shelters in order to preserve their health,” he said.
“We want to avoid disasters … by shifting our settlements away from the lowlands to the mountains as much as possible,” Erdogan said in a televized address during a visit to hard-hit Hatay province. Blinken said in Ankara that the U.S. government had responded “within hours” to the disaster and had so far sent hundreds of personnel and relief supplies. But he said that ordinary Americans had also responded to “heartbreaking” images from the quake zone.
