Contesto |
Ein Erdbeben der Stärke 7,8 hat am 6.2.2023 um 02H17 Schweizer Zeit (04h17 lokale Zeit) den Südosten der Türkei erschüttert. Das Epizentrum befand sich in Pazarcik an der Grenze zu Syrien. Bis am 6.2 14.00 berichten die türkischen Behörden von 284 Toten und 2'323 Verletzten. Gemäss syrischen Medienberichten belaufen sich die Opferzahlen im von der syrischen Regierung kontrollierten Gebiet auf 237 Tote und 630 Verletzte. Man muss davon ausgehen, dass sich die Anzahl der Opfer noch weiter erhöht. Die Katastrophe ereignet sich mitten im Winter mit eisigen Temperaturen und viel Schnee. Die Türkei hat zu internationaler Unterstützung für Such- und Rettungsteams aufgerufen. |
