El terremoto en Turquía y Siria es uno de los desastres naturales más letales

By Jordi Bou

February 10, 2023 - Los devastadores terremotos que sacudieron Turquía y Siria el 6 de febreto han cobrado la vida de por lo menos 21.000 personas,
convirtiéndose en el séptimo desastre natural más letal de este siglo

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.
