Ankara, February,10 (MP Jankranti News) M Venkata T Reddy: Death toll continues in Turkey and Syria due to massive earthquake. The death toll due to the massive earthquake is increasing. Dead bodies are being found while removing the debris of the collapsed buildings. So far more than 21 thousand people have died due to this massive earthquake. Thousands of people were seriously injured, Turkey’s disaster management agency said. 72 hours have already passed since the earthquake. Due to this, there are doubts about the survival of those trapped under the rubble. Officials said that the death toll is likely to increase in this context. Meanwhile, the freezing cold in Turkey and the civil war in Syria are hampering the relief efforts. Due to the destroyed roads and runways beyond the earthquake, people are not getting quick help
 Rescue teams are trying to remove the people from the rubble of buildings collapsed by the earthquake. Turkish authorities say that 1,10,000 rescue personnel are working for this, and 5,500 vehicles, cranes and bulldozers are removing the debris. However, people are also forming teams and removing the debris to protect their loved ones. The people trapped under the rubble are trying their best to save them as they cannot bear hearing the cries of those who are trying to save them.

 Meanwhile, America and the World Bank have announced financial assistance to Turkey and Syria, which suffered huge losses due to the earthquake. Superpower America will provide assistance of Rs.700 crores and World Bank will provide Rs.1.46 lakh crores.
 Turkey moved forward due to a huge earthquake, scientists say that Turkey moved forward due to a huge earthquake of 7.8 magnitude on the Richter scale. Compared to Syria, Turkey has moved by five or six meters. It is estimated that this happened due to the friction of the plates on the earth’s surface in Turkey.
