The border area with Syria suffered on Monday the most violent earthquake in Turkey in a hundred years (magnitude 7.8). Yesterday morning the dead in both countries exceeded 5 thousand; the wounded 24 thousand.

Syria worsens its humanitarian catastrophe of 12 years of civil war. This devastating earthquake occurred only days after our country had the strongest in two decades (magnitude 5.3), without damage.
