Thousands of people 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 was one of the strongest earthquakes to hit Turkey in more than 100 years.
While the death toll has climbed — as of Thursday afternoon, more than 20,000 people were dead — there have been many rescues made from beneath the rubble. Teams continue to work around the clock to save as many people as they can.
