The devastation is unbelievable and heartbreaking 😢 Stay strong, Turkey and Syria!

In 2001 there was a similar earthquake in Gujarat, India. On google the death toll states 28k but I still remember at that time it was over Leaves a lasting impact on the minds of people, the way the then CM of state Modi did some commendable job in rebuilding the city with Japanese tech innumerable buildings were rebuilt that could sustain earthquakes..just like that state is in top 5 states in India, I hope Turkey & Syria too recovers!

I offer my most sincere love and respect to those who came to help our country.

Around 30 yrs ago there was a similar earthquake in my city and a lot of buildings collaped like cards. After, many zoning laws and building laws were passed, like no building over 6 storeys. It is just that this quake in Turkey and Syria has an incredible high death toll, a combination of so many unfortunate variables. The time of the quake when people are sleeping, winter season, and poor construction designs 🙏🙏🙏 for recovery... it is possible

What a tremendous catastrophe. The devastation and death is hard to process.

Deep condolences for the people of Turkiye and Syria😓😱😓

41, 000 people perished also pets and strays. This is beyond tragic!

This is saddening. I've always wanted to visit Turkey, especially the Gaziantep region since it's located near the ancient city of Antioch and has a lot of historical legacies. Regardless, I hope everyone is alright. It seems that the death toll grows exponentially every day..

Looking at their architecture and infrastructure I never would have guessed that those places were in known quake zones. It's completely unsuited for such an environment.... I'd bet money that it would have resulted in much fewer deaths if such a thing was taken into consideration by their governments during development. What a devastating, terrible tragedy....

[ゲリン]

I feel helpless and depressed. I wish I could do something to help at all. Im very sad 😭

From the 99 earthquake onwards, we have learnt NOTHING. Old buildings are still standing whilst these newer dwellings are one with the rubble. If this is corruption then what is it?

I weep for my country. I weep that people's dreams and hopes are being taken away from them.

Interesting facts: earthquakes is deadly only for human civilization because of buildings collapse. Wildlife is almost unharmed even in greater quakes.

Three years ago it was the covid 19 that wiped off millions from the earth. Now this devastating earthquake claimed so many lives. This is sadness beyond imagination. Words cannot describe the sadness in my heart. May the deceased r.i.p and the survivors, please be strong and keep going.

[AlexRamirez-vzvj]

My condolences....
Please be kind and help your brothers in this time of need....
The children need the most attention and help right now...

The Chinese rescue team did great work in Turkey. Like many others rescue teams, many survivors were rescued safely. 👏👏👏👏👏
