Powerful earthquake rocks Turkey and Syria, killing thousands
A powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake rocked wide swaths of Turkey and Syria early Monday, toppling hundreds of buildings and killing more than 1,900 people.
Hundreds of people are believed to be trapped under the rubble as of Monday morning, and the death toll is expected to climb as rescue workers search mounds of rubble in cities and towns across the area.
“I was sleeping when my wife suddenly woke me up. The quake was very severe, very scary,” described a man in the Turkish city of Diyarbakır. “It took almost two minutes until the shaking stopped.”
The quake, felt as far away as Cairo, was centred north of Gaziantep, a Turkish provincial capital. It struck a region that has been shaped on both sides of the border by more than a decade of civil war in Syria.
