The WHO makes a dramatic announcement regarding the earthquakes that hit Turkey yesterday and today, one with a magnitude of 5.7 on the Richter scale occurring just a few hours ago, and according to the international organization, approximately 23 million people would be affected by earthquakes, including 1.4 million children.
The WHO says that more than 4.000 people have been confirmed to have been killed by the earthquakes so far, and almost 19.000 others are injured, but it is not known how high the total number of victims is, because many bodies still remain. trapped under the ruins, and their current condition remains unknown, unfortunately.
The WHO says that help is needed from all over the world so that the devastating effects of the earthquakes have a substantially reduced impact, but everything depends on how well the countries of the world will collaborate to help Turkey devastated by these natural disasters, and all in a period of serious economic problems caused by the war in Ukraine, and not only that.
"So far, it is estimated that more than 4.000 people have been killed and more than 18.700 are injured, but we all know that these numbers will continue to rise as the situation evolves. "Of course, what these numbers don't tell us is the pain and loss that families who have lost a mother, a father, a daughter, a son under the rubble - or who don't know if their loved one - are experiencing right now.
23 million people, including 1,4 million children, could be exposed, both top World Health Organization officials said on Tuesday as Syria's humanitarian needs were greatest after a major earthquake killed thousands there and in southern Turkey."
