It’s bad guys, if you have friend or family there Check on them ASAP.

It happened in the middle of the night, Buildings collapsed as far as 200km from the epicentre, felt in Beirut/Israel and further out.

BBC - link to news.
Turkey have declared a 4th level of alarm.

From what I understand this means it requires international aid.

Terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

Video of pipelines on fire, disregard the UK part of the the description no EQ here obviously.

Edit: Northern Syria seems to have been affected badly also.

Hundreds of buildings completely leveled, people trapped under the rubble posting videos asking for people to find them etc.

The death toll is going to be bad :( .
 
Theres going to be thousands upon thousands of people buried under the rubble who are not going to be rescued. They will drown/suffocate to death simply due to no one being there to be able to rescue them its ******* heart breaking.

There are areas right now where NO rescue teams no government lead teams have arrived at all even now. Just a few people trying to do something, screams from under the rubble, the civilians just do not have the ability to help them.

The causalities are going to be way worse than anyone can imagine, people just buried alive.

I think it's best not to think too much about it, as it's just overwhelming.

It really is :(. Even the help that can be sent can't get to certain cities as the roads are literally sheered apart, runaways sheered in half.
So many people are going to needlessly die.

Your right I just can't go about my day pretending these poor people are not in need of urgent help and hoping they get it.

i wouldnt be surprised if it reached 50K, the quake affected urban areas with a total population of 13.5 million, and it happened when everyone was asleep.

With some or the affected cities not reached yet and cut off by road.. it’s likely gonna be higher.

Hatay for example just doesn’t exist anymore, no rescuers have arrived.

I feel we can’t even comprehend the number of casualties :/.
