Earthquakes in Syria and Turkey

More than 21,000 people have died in Turkey and Syria, and thousands more have been injured after a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake rocked southern Turkey.

Hundreds of homes were flattened, and many people were under the rubble.

The damages in Syria are beyond description, due to the indiscriminate and improper housing in the areas of the Syrian opposition, in addition to the absence of earthquake-resistant buildings in the areas of the Syrian regime.

The damage affected more than 60 areas of the Syrian opposition, most notably:

Jarabulus, Afrin, Armanāz, Jindires, Kafar Roma, Haram, Salqin, Millis, Al Atārib, Sarmadā, Azmarīn, Al-Dana, Marea, Al-Bab, Azaz, Jandiris, Darkush, Jdayde, Yacubiyeh, Qunaya, Maland, Al-Ramadiyeh and Jisr al-Shughur.

There are more than 34 areas in the areas of the Syrian regime, and perhaps the most dangerous of them are the eastern provinces of Aleppo, in addition to the neighborhoods of Al-Kallaseh and Al-Midan, and Jableh city, Latakia city.

Many people sleep in the streets during this cold weather, as heating, food and health safety are impossible.
