Workers rummage through mountains of rubble

After Monday 7.

An 8-magnitude earthquake is still felt in Syria and Turkey. In Syria, rescue workers are still searching through mountains of rubble for victims who have been trapped for more than 5 days. In Turkey, more victims are likely to be discovered in the aftermath of the earthquake. The World Health Organization says the death toll from Monday's earthquake has now reached 21,000, surpassing the more than 18,400 who died in a 2011 earthquake off the coast of Egypt.

People are trapped for more than five days

Since the devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck southern Turkey and Syria on Monday, survivors face the daunting task of searching through mountains of rubble for anyone still alive. As of Friday, 21,500 people have been confirmed dead and more than 50,000 injured.

More than five days have passed since the earthquake, and rescue workers are still struggling to find survivors. On Thursday, workers searched mountains of rubble for the fifth day in Turkey and Syria, and rescued people who had been trapped for more than 5 days.

Rescuers chanted "Allahu Akbar" and embraced each other on Friday after freeing a woman trapped under the rubble for five days. Experts say Syrian President Bashar al-Assad may try to use this week's deadly earthquake as an opportunity to de-escalate his country's ongoing civil war. However, relief efforts continue and many people are still waiting to be rescued.

Gender and health issues

since 7.

A 7-magnitude earthquake struck Syria last night, and the earthquake caused the population to suffer a set of aftershocks. Among them are the magnitude 2 earthquakes that struck today. While these tremors did not cause any significant damage, they left many Syrians struggling to deal with the aftermath.

One such casualty is the health of the population. After years of conflict and neglect, the healthcare infrastructure has been destroyed, leaving millions without access to basic medical care. This has led to an increase in diseases such as typhus and cholera. In addition, the displacement of people has also led to an increase in mental health problems, as people struggle to find a place to call home.

Despite the challenges, Syrian activists continue to work to improve the health and well-being of their population. They do this by providing assistance to earthquake-affected areas, helping to rebuild healthcare facilities, and providing education about healthy living choices. It will take a long-term effort to rebuild Syria after all this destruction, but it is clear that gender equality and health are key ingredients in this recipe.

IS group attack

While the Islamic State continues to lose ground in both Syria and Iraq, remnants of their once powerful organization remain. On Saturday, ISIS attacked about 75 people while they were collecting truffles in Palmyra, in the eastern countryside of Syria. The attack killed at least 11 people and injured dozens. In central Syria, a war monitor reported that an earthquake killed at least 13 people and injured dozens.

Relief efforts are underway to help those affected by the earthquake in both countries. The Syrian Democratic Forces stopped all offensive operations in order to focus on providing humanitarian aid. If you are able to, please donate money to organizations like the White Helmets who work tirelessly to help those affected. By doing so, you can help ensure that those who have lost so much have a chance at a brighter future.

The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.8

A 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit Turkey and Syria on Monday. The quake was followed by a second quake with a magnitude of 4.6. As of Wednesday morning, at least 21,000 people have died and more than 400,000 people have been left homeless. More victims are likely to be discovered as rescuers continue to search for survivors.

HI is already in the area, launching an emergency response to help the survivors. HI provided tents, food, water and medical aid to those affected by the earthquake. In addition, HI works with partner organizations to provide mental health support and livelihood opportunities to those affected.

The earthquake created disaster zones on both sides of the border and caused great damage to the infrastructure. The World Health Organization has warned that the death toll is likely to rise as rescuers continue to search for survivors in Turkey and Syria.
