Another Earthquake Shook Turkey


A magnitude-5.6 earthquake struck southern Turkey on Monday, only three weeks after a devastating earthquake ravaged the area. According to Turkey’s disaster management service, the newest earthquake was concentrated in Yesilyurt, Malatya province, which reported at least one fatality. According to the Associated Press, Mehmet Cinar, the mayor of Yesilyurt, stated in a televised broadcast that numerous damaged structures collapsed during Monday’s earthquake. Cinar stated that a father and daughter who had entered a collapsed four-story structure to retrieve their possessions are now stuck inside. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake that slammed Turkey and Syria on February 6 has so far resulted in about 48,000 fatalities.
