Turkey rocked by another quake — the third in 2 weeks
[NYPOST] Another strong earthquake hit  ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...Saturday morning, again rocking the region struggling to recover from a catastrophic quake two weeks ago. The 5.2 magnitude earthquake hammered central Turkey, just days after another quake near the Syrian border. It struck near the cities of Aksaray and Emirgazi. Saturday’s quake came as Turkey and Syria were trying to rebuild homes for the nearly two million left without shelter by the massive 7.8 magnitude Feb. 6 quake. Tents, container homes and other facilities are being used as makeshift shelter but many are yet to receive any help. "Our houses are heavily damaged so we have taken shelter here, in a garden in our neighbourhood," said a nursing student named Alswed, 25, who was among 60 Syrians staying at a makeshift roadside settlement near the city of Antakya. The residents used plastic sheeting, blankets, bricks and chunks of concrete from damaged buildings to erect 11 shelters. Posted by: Fred 2023-02-26 |
