Bilnaci is burdened, over 1 thousand lives lost from the earthquake in Turkey

The number of victims from the earthquake in Turkey and Syria has reached over 1,000. Meanwhile, the search and rescue operation continues, because many people are still under the rubble.

The 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck in the early hours of today, while people were asleep, and dozens of aftershocks have been felt since then.

The President of Turkey Erdogan said that only in Turkey 912 people have been killed and more than 5300 injured.

World leaders, including UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and French President Emmanuel Macron, have pledged to send aid after Turkey issued an international appeal for help.

Millions of people across Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus and Israel felt the earthquake.
