Death toll from the Turkey-Syria earthquakes passes 46,000.


The number of people killed in Turkey has hit 40,642. The Syrian government and the UN say more than 5,800 people have died in Syria.

Rescue teams in Turkey’s Hatay rescued a 45-year-old man alive after he spent 278 hours under the rubble.
A total of 178 UN trucks carrying aid from Turkey into northwest Syria have crossed the border since February 9.
Turkey is caring for 1,589 children who have been separated from their families following the earthquakes.

84,000 building have collapsed or were severely damaged: Turkish officials

More than 84,000 buildings have either collapsed, need urgent demolition or were severely damaged in the quake, Turkish officials have said.

One of the areas severely hit was Antakya, an ancient crossroads of civilisations.

The city has suffered several earthquakes – almost one every 100 years – and is no stranger to rebuilding.

This is too much

Righteousness2:
Really sad and unfortunate.
That is why we need to live in the Conciousness of eternity. We need to live with eternity in view.
Anything could happen at anytime and anywhere.

The Greatest gift to your soul is the SALVATION OF your soul through which is only available through JESUS CHRIST

may God forgive their sins

May their souls rest well.... not a good way to leave this world.

the that when you think the world is coming to an end

This is sad, may d souls of d departed rest in peace

Righteousness2:
That prayer is a waste right now. It has no effect on anyone who is gone to the other side.

Now that we have the breath of GOD in our nostril, is the opportunity to make that prayer.
Mercy expires at death.

I think there should be forgiveness in death in such tragedies

No forgiveness in death. God sometimes in His infinite mercies sends some back to life so they can repent.

Massive tragedy though in turkey!!
