From the British Red Cross website.... Following the earthquake in Turkey (officially known as Türkiye) and Syria, we have launched an emergency appeal. At 4:17am local time a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck southern Türkiye (Turkey) near the city of Gaziantep, and was followed by a series of powerful aftershocks. Then at 13:24 local time, a second earthquake (M7.7) hit the Elbistan district around 80 miles north of Gaziantep. Reports suggest that over 2,300 have been killed as hundreds of buildings collapsed, and thousands more have been injured. These figures are expected to rise significantly. Right now, rescuers are racing to save people trapped beneath the rubble, and get shelter and support to those who have lost their homes or are afraid to return inside.
