Turkey Syria earthquake: death toll rising as ‘window of rescue’ closing



People are still being pulled alive from collapsed buildings, following the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria. But they are now outnumbered by the dead.

The World Health Organisation is warning more people could die as a result of lack of food, water, medical supplies and shelter than were killed when buildings collapsed in Monday’s quakes.

The first United Nation lorries carrying aid via Turkey have finally managed to cross into northern Syria. In the UK, charities have banded together to raise funds for emergency relief.

We visited the town of Kirikhan in the South Eastern Hatay Province, where Turkey’s Health and Defence Ministers visited today.

Warning – this film contains distressing scenes.

  1. In the Book of Enoch, the FALLEN ANGELS "The Watchers" taught mankind the 'Art of Warfare' and its documented that this region is constantly in turmoil from the 'wages of war'. Now such a crisis persists and no government aid could assist in this magnitude of destruction. In their previous wars, sure, lives were displaced, relocated, and relocatees housed in government furnished 'Housing Projects'. If such a regime, along with its Alliances, can finance and stockpile their WAR MACHINE, no wonder civilian aid is none existence and it's pathetic. We have to be forewarned, biblical prophecy…."there will be earthquakes in diverse places"!!!

  2. If you watch these earthquake videos, it is evident that only the older buildings collapsed, and the newer ones stood. However, there is a need for further research into this. If that is true, it can be concluded that the majority died due to poor town planning. The authorities should have implemented steps to replace old high rising buildings with newer earthquake-resistant ones, especially when you are on a fault line.

  3. From all the footage i've seen so far, these people are strong and determined, they are not giving up and they seemingly are doing alot of this on their own. God will reward them for this, please if you have faith in the Lord do not shake your fist at him just seek him and he will seek you. He is with you among you now. Amen.

  7. 남편의 예전 필리핀여자분은 19살에결혼해서 600만원 번다면서 남편에게 돈달라고
    돈 빌려달라고 어디다 탕진하고 어디다 낭비하고 돈만 빌려달라고

  9. ERDOGON SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF SO MANY TURKISH PEOPLE. HE HAS BEEN PRESIDENT FOR TEN YEARS AND HAS OVERSEEN MANY OF THESE BUILDING BEING POORLY BUILT. THE JAPANESE GOVERNMWNT GOES TO GREAT LENGTHS TO PROTECT ITS PEOPLE FROM EARTH QUAKES BY BUILDING EARTH QUAKE SAFE BUILDINGS AND HOMES.
