Arab League called on the international community on Monday to aid the Syrian people in the aftermath of a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit southeast Türkiye and northern Syria early on Monday.

Ahmed Aboul-Gheit, the secretary-general of the pan-Arab organization, wrote on Twitter that an international assistance is required to help those impacted by “this humanitarian catastrophe.”
