A number of appeals have been launched for in-need residents of Turkey and Syria, after earthquakes yesterday reduced parts of the bordering countries to rubble and dust.
The first quake - measured at 7.8 on the Richter Scale - struck in the early hours of Monday morning (6 February), while the second took place shortly just before 11am, according to multiple news outlets. The subsequent second quake was measured to hold 7.5 magnitude.
Reuters this afternoon reported that at least 3,400 have been confirmed dead in Turkey, while in excess of 1,600 in Syria have passed away through the natural disasters - with the countries left in tatters while search and rescue teams, as well as members of the widespread communities continue doing all that they can to assist.
