Earthquake in Turkey and Syria
A 7.8 magnitude earthquake shook wide swaths of Turkey and Sirito this Monday, killing more than 2,500 people and injuring thousands more by bringing down thousands of buildings and trapping residents under piles of rubble, so far
Authorities expect the death toll to continue to rise as rescue workers searched for survivors amid tangles of metal and concrete in a region beset by more than a decade of civil war in Syria and a refugee crisis.
Residents roused from sleep by the pre-dawn quake ran outside in the rain and snow to escape falling debris, while those trapped yelled for help.
Throughout the day, significant aftershocks rattled the region, including a jolt nearly as strong as the initial quake.
