HP Pres Disaster Relief: Turkey Earthquake

In the early hours of Monday, Feb 6, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit near Gaziantep, Turkey. The effects of the earthquake impacted southern Turkey down to northern Syria. In only a few short hours, a second 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit the region again.

Numbers continue to rise, but currently more than 20,000 are reported dead, and at least another 7,000 are injured. Many buildings, bridges, and gas lines have collapsed, and thousands of homes have been destroyed. Rescue operations are underway, and disaster relief teams are being mobilized.
