Thousands are dead after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake rocked Turkey and Syria on Monday, February 6.
The quake struck 23 kilometers (14.2 miles) east of Nurdagi, Turkey, the US Geological Survey said. It is one of the strongest earthquakes to hit Turkey in more than 100 years.
A series of aftershocks reverberated throughout the day. The largest, a major quake that measured 7.5 in magnitude, hit in Turkey about nine hours after the initial quake, according to the USGS.
