Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Aerial footage shows earthquake aftermath in hard-hit Turkish region of Hatay” – below is their description.
A series of earthquakes hit Turkey earlier this week leaving large-scale destruction in Hatay. Buildings can be seen razed to the ground, with many others barely standing as rescue efforts continue on the ground. Hatay is one of the hardest hit parts of Turkey with aid and rescue teams arriving slowly in the region, fuelling anger against the government. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan acknowledged shortcomings in the initial response, but committed to rehousing displaced people within a year. Hatay is Turkey’s southernmost province.
Rescue efforts have been ongoing for three days in Turkey and Syria, with the death toll passing 16,000. Search-and-rescue operations continue as people are pulled from collapsed buildings.
