Oh no I was just in Santorini. i was thinking at the time that the construction around and about would struggle if a big earthquake hit. And thats one of the richer islands.

well even Athens felt the quake (but more on a lesser scale)

just heard this news from one of my greek friends on discord, so i went looking on twitter for some news or statistic on this

Yes reached Turkey.

Omg that's terrible.

...26 people reported dead now.../...so devastating...I’ve read reports of aid from France and I presume, other countries as well...

Yes terrible in Turkey
people may be trapped in buildings.

edited the OP


26 dead so far, search and rescue is ongoing as we speak, many buildings in Izmir, Turkey been destroyed

...fresh water/food/medical supplies...rescue aid over the coming weeks and months is going to be such the important key to the ultimate deaths...

That’s tough heading into winter as well

Dictating Clown Erdogan's problem, not mine

...it’s not Erdogan that any of these dangers are going to impact, Nicky..It’s the people already suffering a loss of their homes and in some cases, a loss of loved ones...and will also be facing water/food/medical shortages as well...it’s a time when other countries have to make the aid needed, their problem...

hope my country doesn't send any help tbh

stand your ground against erdogan

...it really isn’t Erdogan who ‘standing ground’ would impact, Nicky...he’s all fine and dandy...it’s the people already suffering and devastated by this quake who will... and with continued life loss that could have been prevented with getting aid there quickly now...but I’ll leave you with your own opinion and thoughts of how you feel Erdogan will personally suffer through ‘standing ground’...

no of course it is terrible for people who lost their homes, but if Erdogan somehow has emotion (which i find hard to believe) he and his government would help out people this quake had a huge impact to their lives

but he should not count on foreign help considering his recent words towards France

...with a devastation such as this, all countries would be reliant on ‘foreign help’ because their own supplies would be destroyed and water supplies, contaminated etc...that’s what such a force of nature does to a country...

can't argue against this, yes their water supplies might be contaminated, and maybe most of those affected are not pro-erdogan so yeah might be wise if we help out

but i think EU in general will send out some construction supplies, fresh water

we always do such little things so

BBC's article on this news story

Some great news

In Turkey


Over 80 dead now

Ref:ITV1HDnews.

yes also a 14 yr old girl, a 72 yr old man, and a 16 yr old girl and her dog pulled from the rubble alive

what i saw this morning on our news

...some wonderful news of rescues... the 3yr old’s name is Elif Perincek...she was found lying on her back between her bed and a closet in a space that was just big enough for her to have fitted into and her mother and two sisters were also rescued... Elif was the 106th person to be pulled alive from the rubble....incredible job from all of the rescue services...:lovedup:..

Always amazing when you hear stories like this. Poor baby must have been terrified stuck there. :love:

...yeah, how it must feel for those rescue people when someone is found alive ...I can’t even imagine words to describe that, Annie...their total exhaustion just temporarily lifted and vanished completely and replaced with joy...

Exactly....they must see some absolute horrific sights so to find someone alive must be what keeps them going :love:
