Türkei-Syrien Beben gehört zu den tödlichsten Naturkatastrophen

By Jordi Bou

February 10, 2023 - Die verheerenden Erdbeben, die Türkei und Syrien am 6. Feb erschüttert haben, führten zu bisher 21.000 Toten. Sie sind unter den schweren Naturkatastrophen unseres Jahrhunderts an siebenter Stelle einzureihen.

The death toll from the 7.8 magnitude earthquake and several powerful aftershocks across both countries has surpassed the more than 17,000 killed in 1999 when a similarly powerful earthquake hit northwest Turkey.

It now ranks as the seventh most deadly natural disaster this century, ahead of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan and approaching the 31,000 killed by a quake in neighbouring Iran in 2003.
