Sadly current death tolls are large underestimations
Aethereal Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Life is cruel and unfair. I am very paranoid about the future.
ZIVERT Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 So devastating and heartbreaking. My heart is with Turkey today. If there’s a way to help, please let me know

My phone doesn’t support translating the webpage for the first link, so I’m not sure where I should put my card information
kandicha Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 This is so sad and scary, especially knowing that the death toll will continue to rise as the cold sets in. My heart goes out to everyone in Turkey.
Steven Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 You know syria was affected a lot! why there's barely any mention of them :(
Genius1111 Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Death toll around 3800 now. 10000 rescue workers in Turkey have been deployed.
JoeAg Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 f*ck, how awful praying for all my eastern european and western asian friends...
Sombre Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) This is a nightmare. It's so sad that it happened at 4am local time too, when a lot of people were asleep and couldn't react as fast to either evacuate or get under sturdy furniture. Obviously, RIP to everyone in Turkey and Syria. Hopefully this pushes both governments (Syria... sigh) to pass laws that force structural renovations for old buildings.

Genius1111 Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) Death toll now >4300 Turkiye says they have received aid offers from 45 countries Gaziantep Castle, from the ancient Roman times, is severely damaged 20 ISIS prisoners in a Syrian prison have taken the opportunity to escape Blizzard conditions are hampering rescue efforts WSJ: People in Lebanon fear aftershocks and have fled their homes Edited February 7, 2023 by Genius1111
Bookos Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Terrifying 😣 Hope they can help as many people as they can and praying for strength to all those affected.

flower moon Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Toll now over 7,000. Lots of people stuck in rubble posting videos to social media asking for help

Vermillion Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Given the situation in Syria, this will probably be an undercount for months if not longer.
A.R.L Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) Unfortunately it’s getting worse... This is extremely horrible to watch and for everyone who is infected with it... I really hope the world will provide more help in situation. Edited February 7, 2023 by A.R.L
