More than 1,400 killed as 7.8-magnitude earthquake hits Turkey and Syria: Terrifying videos show huge destruction after families were crushed in their sleep by 'record' quake felt as far afield as Egypt

More than 1,400 people have been killed and thousands more injured in a catastrophic 7.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked Turkey and Syria overnight, flattening entire neighbourhoods while many families were still asleep.

Tremors from the deadly quake - which lasted about a minute and could be Turkey's largest ever - were felt as far away as Egypt, Lebanon and the island of Cyprus, while a tsunami warning was briefly issued by authorities in Italy along the country's coast.

Residents were jolted awake and fled from their homes in terror into the cold, rainy and snowy night across southeast Turkey and northern Syria, taking shelter in cars from a wave of at least 40 aftershocks and collapsing buildings.

Concerns grew for people trapped under the rubble as thousands of rescue workers jumped into action, searching through tangles of metal and giant piles of concrete for survivors who could be heard calling out from underneath the wreckage.

Terrifying videos and pictures from across the region showed the huge destruction wrought by the quake. One clip from the border town of Azaz, Syria, showed a rescuer desperately running through a field of debris with an injured child in his arms, while another showed the total collapse of a building in Sanliurfa, Turkey.

Let me use this opportunity to remind you all of what you already know that Nigeria is supposed to be one of the best place in the world to live like a paradise (think about it without sentiment) but bad leadership wrecked us. No natural disaster only man-made disaster destroyed our economy, social, health, energy, etc. This is not the time for prayer of requests because God already gave us all we need to be great but it's only time to thank God for the journey so far that we are still existing.

I still believe that with little amendment on the part of our leadership, we can still be something to be admired by other nations. Let's stop all this politics of hate, ethnicity, etc. Let's call a spade what is supposed to be called. Now that a seed of groundnut have more value than ₦1, APC at the national level MUST not return to power. They must be punished for what they did to this country same way PDP Jonathan was deceitfully punished for bad leadership (opposition propaganda). We can't continued to be fooled by some sets of people (aspirant blaming incumbent). And by 2027 whosoever is underperforming should be sent parking also

The Earth has completely gone bunkers..
But mr O.P...1,800 and counting is the current death count not 1,400.

Meanwhile do you know that Russia is still currently paying Ukraine millions of dollars per day for the extensive networks of Pipelines that carry Russian oil and gas to Europe via Ukraine...and the same Ukraine has been crying to the whole of Europe to stop buying Russian Oil and gas...yet they have been protecting the same Pipelines that carry the bulk of those Russian Oil and gas to Europe...
Who's now deceiving who huh

God please, also remember Nigeria as a greater man made earthquake is constantly hitting us on daily basis over here,
no Petrol, no money, no hope and some cabals are packaging retired criminals (Tinubu & Atiku) for us here.

God, May you deliver us via ObiDatti now please! Amen.
