Earthquake in Türkiye

A powerful Earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 (Mw) shook Eastern Türkiye on Sunday. It was followed by aftershocks with a magnitude of 6.0 and 5.6. Over 250 people have been killed and thousands injured.

The city of Ercis is worst affected with infrastructure and many buildings being badly damaged. Many thousands of people have had to leave buildings and sleep outside in freezing temperatures.

Over 2000 rescue workers are involved in the relief effort, setting up camps for shelter. Fears of more aftershocks in the area prevent people from returning to their homes.

For this activation, value adding support has been provided by the European project GMES SAFER.
