Več kot 100 potresov v Turčiji, število mrtvih blizu 20.000, ljudje obupani: “Pomagajte nam!”
Po zadnjih podatkih je število žrtev naraslo na 4300.
GAZIANTEP – Tla v Turčiji se še vedno tresejo. Po podatkih tamkajšnjih oblasti je bilo v zadnjih 24 urah vsaj 100 popotresnih sunkov z magnitudo 4,0 ali več.
“Ko se čas od prvotnega potresa povečuje, se pogostost in magnituda popotresnih sunkov ponavadi zmanjšujeta. Vendar pa popotresni sunki z magnitudo 5,0 do 6,0 še vedno predstavljajo tveganje za dodatno škodo na strukturah, ki jih ogroža prvotni potres. To predstavlja stalno grožnja reševalnim ekipam in preživelim,“ opozarja Geološki inštituz ZDA, kjer so zabeležili vse prej omenjene sunke.

Po zadnjih podatkih je število žrtev naraslo na 4300.
“Vedno vidimo isto stvar pri potresih, žal se bodo prva poročila o številu mrtvih ali ranjenih v naslednjem tednu precej povečala,” je povedala Catherine Smallwood, višja uradnica WHO za nujne primere v Evropi. Po najbolj črnih ocenah naj bi v potresu v Turčiji in Siriji umrlo blizu 20.000 ljudi…
Obsežna reševalna akcija se nadaljuje, žal pa reševanje ovira slabo in hladno vreme, za nameček pa primanjkuje reševalnih ekip in osnovnih dobrin.
It’s been almost 24 hours. In some areas (Hatay, Kahramanmaraş), officials and local residents are saying rescue teams of AFAD [Turkey’s disaster management authority] haven’t reached them. Lots of calls for help under the hashtag #ekiplernerede pic.twitter.com/bNF3CoyIg7

In this video, also from Kahramanmaraş, you can hear a woman’s voice coming from under the rubble. Two men repeat the address of the residential building, saying ‘These people are fighting against time. They will die. Urgently send a rescue team.” https://t.co/395fLijvd1

Another heartbreaking video, from Besni: “Nobody has come, nobody is helping us. Please, send us help. We’re waiting.” https://t.co/CjcrzbqgoI

Been watching videos of high-rise buildings crumbling to the ground and thinking of all the rapid development & unregulated construction in Turkey. Buildings have collapsed in the past even w/o natural disasters (e.g. in Istanbul in 2019). In this earthquake, 6,217 have collapsed https://t.co/g01k87gG4V
