    Deadly New Quakes of 6.4 and 5.8 Magnitude Trap People Under Rubble- Details Here

    Rescuers are once again searching for people trapped under rubble in Turkey after two new earthquakes hit the country, killing at least three people.

    Tremors of 6.4 and 5.8 magnitude struck in the south-east near the border with Syria, where massive quakes devastated both countries on 6 February.

    The earlier quakes killed 44,000 people in Turkey and Syria with tens of thousands more left homeless.

    Buildings weakened by those tremors collapsed in both countries on Monday.

    Turkey’s disaster and emergency agency says the 6.4 tremor occurred at 20:04 local time (17:04 GMT), followed by the 5.8 quake three minutes later.

    The three deaths occurred in Antakya, Defne, and Samandag, Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said, urging people not to enter potentially dangerous buildings.

    Mr Soylu said 213 people had also been injured.

    Reports from the city of Antakya spoke of fear and panic in the streets as ambulances and rescue crews tried to reach the worst affected areas where the walls of badly damaged buildings had collapsed.

    “I thought the earth was going to split open under my feet,” local resident Muna al-Omar told Reuters news agency, crying as she held her seven-year-old son. She had been in a tent in a park in the city centre when the new earthquakes hit.

    Ali Mazlum, 18, told AFP news agency he had been looking for the bodies of family members from the previous earthquakes when the latest tremors hit.

    “You don’t know what to do… we grabbed each other and right in front of us, the walls started to fall,” he said.

    In Syria, some 470 injured people are said to have visited hospitals after Monday’s quakes, which were also reportedly felt in Egypt and Lebanon.

  • Turkey earthquake: Rescued cat ‘Rubble’ refuses to leave man who saved it

    Turkey earthquake: Rescued cat ‘Rubble’ refuses to leave man who saved it

    [ad_1]

    The earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria has already claimed over 46,000 lives, with the toll rising by the day. 

    The earthquakes damaged nearly 2,64,000 apartments in Turkey, making it difficult for rescuers to find people trapped beneath the rubble. They have, however, fought against all odds to save lives.

    Several videos have emerged from the earthquake-ravaged country showing incredible human and animal rescues. A member of the Mardin Fire Department rescued a cat a few days ago, and it now refuses to leave his side.

    Anton Gerashchenko, the advisor to Ukraine’s Minister of Internal Affairs, shared the news on social media.

    On February 16, he took to Twitter and shared a video of the cat with its rescuer. The video shows the cat, named ‘Rubble,’ perched on the rescuer’s shoulder and cuddling up against his face.

    He shared another update about the cat on Saturday, saying that the cat had been adopted by the rescuer himself.

    “I posted yesterday about a cat saved from the rubble in Turkey who refused to leave his rescuer’s side. The rescuer’s name is Ali Cakas and he adopted the cat, naming him Enkaz – “rubble” in Turkish. May they have a happy life together!” Gerashchenkosaid in the caption.

    The replies to the post were filled with comments of positivity and jubilation over the development.

    The post has amassed about 5.8 M views and 17.6K retweets.

    Turkey earthquake: Girl, 17, rescued from rubble after over 248 hours, Details Here
    Over 248 hours after massive earthquakes hit Turkey, the authorities have rescued a 17-year-old girl from the rubble of a building that collapsed in the southern central province of Kahramanmaras, reported Reuters citing state broadcaster TRT Haber. Rescuers are continuing to extricate people even 10 days after the earthquake which has caused massive destruction and loss of lives in the country.

    According to Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD), the death toll in Turkey has risen to 36,187, reported Reuters. It added that more than 4,300 aftershocks have hit the disaster zone since the initial tremor.

    On February 6, the first major earthquake hit central Turkey and northwest Syria with a 7.8 magnitude on the Richter scale. Turkey saw two more earthquakes of 7.6 and 6.0 magnitudes later in the day. On February 13, another earthquake of magnitude 4.7 struck Turkey’s southern city of Kahramanmaras, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

    The World Health Organization on Tuesday said that the massive earthquake is the “worst natural disaster” in 100 years in its Europe region. “We are witnessing the worst natural disaster in the WHO European region for a century and we are still learning about its magnitude,” Hans Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe, told a press conference.

    Meanwhile, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan called the quakes “as big as atomic bombs”. He also said that hundreds of thousands of buildings were uninhabitable across southern Turkey, adding “any country would face issues we did during such a disaster”, reported Reuters.

    Painful scene, little girl pulled from the arms of her deceased sister under rubble in Syria

    Heart-wrenching videos have emerged post the two devastating earthquakes that struck Syria and Turkey on Monday, February 6, leaving tens of thousands dead.

    In another video clip that emerged rescue teams can be seen pulling a little girl from the arms of her deceased sister under the rubble of their home in the city of Afrin, north of Aleppo, in Syria.

    The clip indicated that the child kept holding her sister’s hand and embracing her to protect her from the rubble until she breathed her last.

    It is noteworthy that despite the continuation of the search for survivors under the rubble of the devastating earthquake, the hopes of finding survivors eight days after the disaster have begun to diminish.

    The United Nations Deputy Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths, feared that the death toll in the two countries would exceed 40,000.

    Turkey earthquake: Woman refuses to come out without headscarf

    A Turkish woman refused to get out from under the rubble of her family’s house destroyed by the devastating earthquakes on Monday in the city of Gaziantep, without her headscarf.

    While the rescue teams were trying to rescue the mother and her three children, the woman demanded that she be provided with a headscarf.

    A rescuer can be heard saying “Aunty, I love your emaan!”

    The rescue team carried the woman on a medical crane amid chants of Takbeer and loud applause.

    Victims of the two earthquakes of magnitude 7.7 and 7.6 that hit southern Turkey and northern Syria, on Monday, reached 29,789 with over 98,685 being injured.

    While rescue teams continue searching for survivors under the rubble of demolished buildings, the total number of earthquake victims in Turkey has risen to 24,600 deaths and 93,000 injured.

    Turkey: 17-year-old Boy Takes THIS Extreme Step to Survive Under Rubble for 94 Hours

    A 17-year-old boy is sharing his story of survival after spending 94 hours trapped in rubble in the wake of the devastating earthquake that rocked Turkey early Monday.

    Speaking via FaceTime from his hospital bed in Gaziantep, Turkey, Adnan Muhammet Korkut told ABC News he was asleep in his family’s home when the quake hit, and he then “got into the fetal position.”

    While he was trapped, the teenager said that he drank his own urine and ate his family’s flowers to survive. “I set the alarm on my phone for every 25 minutes so I wouldn’t go to sleep. After two days, the battery went dead”, Korkut said.

    As the rescue operation was going on, Korkut said, “I was hearing voices, but was worried they couldn’t hear me. I was afraid that I might get crushed during the rescue efforts. Thank you to the people who came and saved me”, the report added.

    Many stories of the victims and survivors are making the headlines and garnering the netizens’ attention towards the horrible situation in the earthquake-struck region.

    A toddler on Thursday was rescued after 79 hours from the rubble of a building that collapsed in Turkey’s southern city of Antakya. Footage from Turkey’s Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) also showed how rescue workers looked into a narrow opening in the debris and pulled out the two-year-old.

    28,000 deaths, 6,000 buildings collapsed, hundreds of aftershocks – Turkey has been reeling under the aftermath of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck on Monday. But in the midst of destruction and despair, miraculous tales of survival continue to emerge.

    Turkey-Syria earthquake death toll passes 28,000 as rescue hopes dwindle

    The death toll in Turkey and Syria from the quake has surpassed 28,000, and hope of finding many more survivors is fading despite some miraculous rescues.

    German rescuers and the Austrian army paused search operations on Saturday, citing clashes between unnamed groups.

    Security is expected to worsen as food supplies dwindle, one rescuer said.

    And nearly 50 people have been arrested for looting, with several guns seized, local media reported.

    Turkey’s president said he would use emergency powers to punish anyone breaking the law.

    An Austrian army spokesperson said early on Saturday that clashes between unidentified groups in the Hatay province had left dozens of personnel from the Austrian Forces Disaster Relief Unit seeking shelter in a base camp with other international organisations.
