Turkey-Syria Earthquake - Emergency Support

At least 2,835 people have died and rescuers are racing to pull survivors from beneath the rubble after a devastating earthquake ripped through Turkey and Syria, leaving destruction and debris on each side of the border. One of the strongest earthquakes to hit the region in a century shook residents from their beds at around 4 a.m. on Monday, sending tremors as far away as Lebanon and Israel. (cnn turkey).

A series of aftershocks have reverberated throughout the day. The largest, a major quake that measured 7.5 in magnitude, hit in Turkey about nine hours after the initial quake, according to the USGS. That aftershock hit around 95 kilometers (59 miles) north of the original. “Hundreds of thousands of people are impacted by this. It is cold. It is rainy. Roads could be impacted, that means your food, your livelihood, the care for your children, the care for your family,” CNN meteorologist Karen Maginnis said.

Georgia was quick to respond to requests for international assistance after Monday’s devastating earthquake in Turkey, deploying rescue teams and offering aid. “The employees of the Interior Ministry’s Emergency Management Service will be deployed to deal with the consequences of the earthquake in Turkey,” the government administration of Georgia said in a statement.
