Description
A 7.8-magnitude quake has struck Turkey and Syria, killing at least 50,000 people, razing entire neighborhoods. Experts say it could not have happened at a worse time.
A powerful earthquake struck southern Turkey and northern Syria in the early hours of Monday morning. The shockwaves were so strong they were felt as far away as Lebanon and Cyprus, and the death toll continues to rise.
Abdurrahman Alomar , a Syrian doctor living in southern Turkey tells Hannah Moore how he and his family fled their home and sheltered in their car for fear their building would collapse. He explains his worries for those on the other side of the border, where civil war had already decimated infrastructure. The journalist Ruth Michaelson describes the extent of the damage the earthquake has wrought and explains how political instability, a cholera outbreak and a harsh winter will exacerbate the disaster.
