Statement by the PLUS on the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria
On 6 February, devastating earthquakes and aftershocks hit south-eastern Turkey – with the epicentre in the Turkish province of Kahramanmaras – and north-western Syria. The death toll is currently estimated at over 40,000, with around 80,000 injured. In both countries, countless homes have been destroyed and there is hardly any infrastructure left – a disaster of inconceivable proportions.
