More than 4,000 people have been killed in Turkey and Syria by some of the worst earthquakes to hit the Middle East in recent memory, and millions more were left without heat as night fell and snowfall accumulated.

According to Turkey’s disaster response management organisation, known as AFAD, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 occurred early on Monday morning in the Turkish city of Gaziantep, then nine hours later another earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 occurred nearby.
Millions will spend the night without access to power, heating fuel, or automobile petrol. As they looked for evidence of damage along a significant oil pipeline, authorities stopped the flow of petroleum to a nearby export terminal.
A 48-year-old Murat Gencogullari spoke over the phone from the border province of Hatay and stated, “We are urgently waiting for relief from neighbouring provinces but they are not coming since they’ve also been affected terribly.” He said that other nearby buildings had fallen, burying individuals under tonnes of concrete and bent metal. “”Local authorities are struggling to cope, but the destruction is so profound and devastating,”
“The strongest calamity in a century,” according to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is occurring in Turkey. He indicated it was hard to predict the ultimate death toll while speaking before to the second earthquake. Later, Turkey announced seven days of mourning.
