Turkey Was Then Shaken By a Magnitude 6.4 Earthquake, Killing 3 People And Injuring More Than 600

The border areas of Turkey and Syria were once again shaken by an earthquake, after which several buildings collapsed, killing 3 people.

According to the French news agency AFP, an earthquake of magnitude 6.4 was felt in the border region of Turkey and Syria on Monday night. The European Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) reported that the depth of this earthquake was 10 kilometers. Turkey's natural disaster management agency AFAD (Afad) says that the epicenter of the earthquake was near the city of Defne in Hatay province.

More than 680 people have been injured in a total of 680 people, while several buildings have become piles of rubble after a strong earthquake struck Turkey and Syria again. Authorities fear more deaths. According to the news agency, the center of the earthquake was near the Turkish province of Hatay, while the shocks of the earthquake were also felt in Jordan, Egypt and Syria.

Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu has said that the people who died in the earthquake are from Antakya and nearby areas, while urging people not to enter dangerous buildings.

According to eyewitnesses, more buildings were damaged in Antakya, while the mayor of Hatay in southern Turkey said people were trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings. In a tent in a park in Antioch, I thought the ground would crack under my feet.

According to reports, there is panic in the streets of Hatay Province, many building structures that were left standing after the February 6 earthquake have now collapsed, and many cracks have appeared in the roads, prompting rescue services. Troubles are brewing and clouds of dust are rising in the city.

Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Agency said that there were dozens of aftershocks after the earthquake. On the other hand, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says that after the recent earthquake, 32 aftershocks have been recorded, the largest of which was 5.8, while 470 injured have been brought to hospitals.

It should be noted that an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 occurred in the same region of Turkey on February 6, as a result of which more than 47,000 people died in Turkey and Syria.

The new earthquake comes two weeks after the 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Turkey and Syria on February 6. As a result of this devastating earthquake, more than one million people have been displaced in the two neighboring countries.

Both countries are still dealing with the devastation of the earthquake, while the international community is also participating in relief activities in the affected areas. Aid teams from different countries are helping the earthquake victims with essential medicines, medical supplies and volunteer staff.
