Schweres Erdbeben in Türkei und Syrien

By Jordi Bou

February 6, 2023 - Ein Erdbeben der Stärke 7,8 in der Zentralö-Türkei und im Nordwesten von Syrien hat bisher hunderte Tote und tausende Verletzte gefordert.

The quake, which hit in the early darkness of a winter morning, was also felt in Cyprus and Lebanon.

It was Turkey's most severe quake since 1999, when one of similar magnitude devastated Izmit and the heavily populated eastern Marmara Sea region near Istanbul, killing more than 17,000.
