Watch Erdogan get re-elected after this disaster.

a huge chunk of his supporters are still unaware of everything since the news are either scared to mention anything bad about erdogan or they are straight up bootlickers :redface:

153rd hour and they are still pulling people from the rubbles. No food or water, -10 °C. How many more could've been saved if they were faster on the first day :chick3:

That's a relief to hear! I know it may be silly to ask considering the intensity of the earthquake but the trembles all the way to Istanbul were pretty severe as well?

Not silly at all :heart2: We didn't feel it in Istanbul (which is northwest) but the effected area covers 10 cities in the southeastern region with over 12 million people (excluding Syria). However, the tremors were apparently felt all the way in Lebanon.

The Austrian army and German rescue workers on Saturday suspended search operations in quake-ravaged Turkey due to a worsening security situation, their representatives said.

A spokesman for the Austrian army said that there had been “clashes between groups,” without giving details.

He told AFP the 82 soldiers from the Austrian Forces Disaster Relief Unit were sheltering in the southern Hatay province “in a base camp with other international organizations, awaiting instructions.”

 

Quote

 

“In recent hours, the security situation in Hatay province has apparently changed,” said ISAR spokesman Stefan Heine. “There are more and more reports of clashes between different factions, shots have also been fired.”

German teams “are remaining in the common base camp for now as a result” and will resume their search when Turkish civil protection authorities “believe it sufficiently safe.”

why do people only care about turkey and not about syria who are having it much worse?

 

rip

Syria is in team Russia and their civil war is still ongoing.

 

Turkey is in team West, in every Western European city (of meaningful size) there is a Turkish neighbourhood and #3 tourist destination of the Europeans.

People care more or less depending on the distance and probability of the disaster happening to us. If it is happening to our #3 vacation destination, it's quite close. If it is happening in a country we wouldn't find ourselves in, it is very far away.
