DHAKA - Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the people of Turkey and Syria, whose lives have been turned upside down by a massive 7.8-magnitude earthquake – followed by a series of aftershocks – that devastated vast swathes of the countries on February 6.
Monday’s quake is believed to be the strongest to hit Turkey since 1939, when an earthquake of the same magnitude killed 30,000 people, according to the USGS. Therefore, we urge the international community to put their geopolitical interests and conflicts aside, and come to the rescue of Turkish and Syrian people on an immediate basis.
Meanwhile, hospitals in both countries are being flooded with thousands who were injured. Without immediate attention towards the seriously injured, the number of casualties could climb even higher.
