EDIT: READ THE COMMENTS AND ROOT POST FOR UPDATES. About the earthquake in Turkey and Syria:
I am gathering information because I have no way to contact my loved ones at the moment so at least I’ll help this way. Check this post from its root (not reblogs) as it will keep getting updated.
And I send all my love and hope for those affected and those awaiting for answers. 💔
NEWS
I won’t add a lot because many have same source and no live updates.
[The Guardian] There’s pinned updates live on top of the website.
[CNN] Live updates aswell
This i write will become outdated yet, right now: Gaziantep, Hatay and Antakya are the most damaged, difficult for rescuers to get in, and disconnected. It snows heavily as well. So far we know there are happenning aftershocks right now in several cities, reaching Adana and Mersin. Aleppo and Idlib have suffered it strongly as well.
