Turkish Embassy thanks ‘Dost Indians’ for earthquake relief support

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Turkish Embassy in India expressed its gratitude towards the “Dost Indians” for standing in solidarity with Turkey by contributing towards the relief efforts after a devastating earthquake hit the country in January.
In a press release, the Turkish Embassy expressed its heartfelt gratitude towards the Indian citizens who donated generously towards the relief efforts for those affected by the earthquake in Turkey.
The statement read, “The Turkish Embassy in New Delhi would like to express its heartfelt gratitude to Dost Indians for their solidarity and support in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey in January.”
The Embassy went on to highlight that the “Dost Indians” stood in solidarity with the people of Turkey, not only by donating money but also through their prayers and good wishes.
The earthquake that struck Turkey on January 24, 2023, measured 7.0 on the Richter scale and caused widespread damage in the country. The earthquake was centered in the Aegean Sea, near the city of Izmir, and was felt as far away as Athens and Istanbul.
The Turkish Government has been working tirelessly to provide relief and aid to those affected by the earthquake, and the contributions of the “Dost Indians” have been a significant source of support.
The Turkish Embassy’s statement continued, “The contributions of the Dost Indians are an affirmation of the close and friendly ties between the people of Turkey and India. We are grateful for their support and kindness during this difficult time.”
The relationship between Turkey and India is a long-standing one, with the two countries sharing deep cultural and historical ties. The expression of solidarity from the people of India towards Turkey is a testament to the strong bond between the two nations.

The Turkish Embassy’s expression of gratitude towards the “Dost Indians” serves as a reminder of the power of solidarity and the importance of supporting one another during times of crisis. It is heartening to see people from different parts of the world coming together to help those in need.

Rescue team unearths USD 2 million cash under collapsed building after Turkiye earthquake

[ad_1]
In the aftermath of the earthquake that struck eastern Turkiye last week, a rescue team has made a stunning discovery. Amid the rubble, the team found $2 million in cash buried under a collapsed building.
The discovery was made by a rescue team in the city of Gaziantep, which was one of the hardest hit by the 6.8 magnitude earthquake. The cash was found buried under the wreckage of a four-story building that had collapsed during the quake.
According to local media reports, the building was believed to be the home of a wealthy businessman, and the cash was likely being kept in a safe. The discovery has led to speculation that there may be more hidden caches of cash in the area.
THEY DELIVERED $2 MILLION TO THE POLICE

The Turkish government has been providing aid to the earthquake victims, and the discovery of the cash has raised questions about how the government will handle the funds. The government has not yet made a statement about the discovery, but it is expected that the funds will be used to help with the recovery efforts.
The earthquake that struck eastern Turkiye last week has left at least 41 people dead and over 1,600 injured. Rescue efforts are ongoing, and many people are still missing. The discovery of the cash has provided a glimmer of hope in the midst of the tragedy, and it is hoped that it will help to provide some much-needed relief to the people of Elazig.

3 dead, over 600 injured after new 6.4-magnitude earthquake hits Turkey

[ad_1]
Ankara, Feb 21: Three people are now confirmed to have died after a 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck southern Turkey on Monday, weeks after a deadly quake devastated the region.
More than 680 people have been injured in Turkey and Syria.
Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu also said 213 people had been injured.
Turkey’s disaster and emergency agency Afad said the tremor occurred at 20:04 local time (17:04 GMT), the BBC reported.
A 7.8-magnitude quake struck the same area on February 6, killing more than 44,000 people in Turkey and Syria.
Those killed by Monday’s tremor were found in Antakya, Defne, and Samandagi, Soylu said, urging people not to enter potentially dangerous buildings.
Turkish authorities have recorded more than 6,000 aftershocks since the February 6 earthquake hit, but the BBC’s team in the region said the latest tremor felt much stronger than previous ones.
Monday’s earthquake hit near the Turkey-Syria border, and the White Helmets civil defence group said more than 100 people were injured in Syria, with buildings collapsing and widespread panic, the BBC reported.

The Syrian American Medical Society Foundation said that five of its hospitals received at least 30 people with injuries from the latest earthquake, but added that damage to its medical facilities “appears to be minimal”.
The earthquake was also reportedly felt in Egypt and Lebanon.
There is fear and panic in Turkey as small aftershocks keep coming. Lines of ambulances and rescue crews are trying to get to some of the worst affected areas where the walls of badly damaged buildings have collapsed.
A number of structures that were left standing after the tremor on February 6 have now crumbled, including a bridge. Many cracks in roads have become deep scars making it more difficult for the emergency services to get where they may be needed.
An AFP journalist reported on scenes of panic in Antakya, the capital of Hatay province which was already devastated by the previous earthquake — with the latest tremors raising clouds of dust in the city.
The walls of badly damaged buildings also crumbled, AFP reports, with several apparently injured people calling for help.
In a tweet, Afad initially urged people to stay away from coastlines as a precaution against the risk of rising sea levels, although the warning was later removed.–(IANS)

[ad_1]
A 6.3 magnitude earthquake at a depth of two km (1.2 miles) struck the Turkey-Syria border region on Monday, the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said.
Monday’s earthquake report came a mere few hours after US Secretary of state Antony Blinken vowed to aid Turkey “for as long as it takes” after deadly earthquakes affected the country two weeks ago.
“Türkiye faces a long road ahead to support those rendered homeless, and to rebuild. The UN secretary-general has put out a very important, urgent appeal for $1 billion for long-term assistance, and we’re committed to providing support,” Blinken said.
Two Reuters witnesses reported a strong quake and further damage to buildings in central Antakya which were already affected by two massive earthquakes on February 6. Turkish rescue teams are reportedly working on damage control.
A magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck Turkey’s southern province of Kahramanmaras at 4:17 a.m. local time (0117 GMT) on February 6, followed by a magnitude 6.4 quake a few minutes later in the country’s southern province of Gaziantep and a magnitude 7.6 earthquake at 1:24 p.m. local time (1024 GMT) in the Kahramanmaras Province.
