Give thanks to the tirelessly work of the rescuers

[@juliagarcia8577]

They are clearly thanking God for sending help. They probably thought nobody was going to step up, so they relied on their faith and prayer and it looks like their prayers were answered so that’s why they thanked God for sending helpers.

As of 11 Feb. 2023, some 137 hours after the earthquake storms started, here are some facts, but before that, thank you to everyone who are helping, may you live a wonderfull life with your loved ones. -------------------------- -------------------------- We have had two big tremors one 7.7 the other 7.6 about 9 hours apart and 1891 aftershocks some as high as 6.6, scientists have commented the energy of this disaster is equalivant to roughly 500 nuclear bombs and is the largest inland quake known. The affected area of the disaster is about 250,000 square kilometres, just to give a perspective the surface areas of whole of Greece is about 128,000 and Bulgaria is about 108,000 sqkm. 166,334 Turkish relief workers in the area, and as far as I know some 36,000 are search and rescue volunteers trained by AFAD the official Turkish SAR organization. Some 8326 people from 76 countries are assisting in the SAR efforts, as far as I know the most was sent by Azerbaijan with 747 rescuers 57 of them doctors. Even 1 rescuer is important because as time is passing, saving each life is paramount. Majority of the collapsed buildings are of the older inventory built according to older regulations in effect prior to the current governent got elected which they improved, most of the buildings built according to the newer regulations are unaffected or standing, allowing the inhabitants to evacuate safely. Some people wrongly compare this earthquake to the one in Japan with the 9 magnitude, which was 373 kilometers away from Tokyo and 30 kilometers beneath the ocean. The earthquakes in Turkiye that occured 9 hours apart, the first 7.7 the second 7.6 with about 1891 aftershocks as high as 6.6, had an epicenter about 10 km from the many cities inflicted and was as shallow as 7 km from the surface. As of now, which is about the 137th hour after the disaster; -22,327 accounted deaths so far -80,278 saved and injured (many of them saved from under the rubbles, even now days after -7584 buildings collapsed, 12,617 suffered heavy damage needing to be demolished, so far 35 percent of the building inventory has been damage assessed, assesments are ongoing -1 million+ people given temporary accommodation -190,000 people evacuated from the region -12026+ work machinary (thousand more pouring in), 167 aircraft, planes and helicopters,, 45 drones, 24 vessels are working in the region, there has been 1867 relief flights in the region, carrying volunteers and supplies -close to 2000 trucks carrying aid and relief equipment like clothes, blankets, food, sanitary, toys for children, heating equipment, has been sent to the region from all over Turkiye from civilian aid collections -77 field hospitals is set up in the area of 10 cities that have been affected with mobile pharmacies operating in the region -170,000+ family tent and containers have been set up as immediate temporar shelter -Turkish government is providing financial assistance to each family and is providing free evacuation and transportation to accomadation in hundreds of thousands of hotel rooms, student dorms, goverment buildings, with food and all amenities, needs etc a -25000 Turkish armed forces personnel in the region, all military buildings in the region have been allocated for civilian use -children of all ages who have lost their parents are been cared in hospitals before been either given to their legal guardians of their family (aunts, uncles, grandparents etc) or cared for in government orphanages -aid and volunteers are pouring in from all other Turkish cities -Turks from across the country have donated blood, the authorities have asked the population to do so in spreading their donations in time as there was too much influx of support -roads leading to the region that was closed due to harsh winter ice and snow have all been opened -Turkish airlines provide free flights to and from the region for evacuation of millions -the government has pledged to cover renting expenses of each family for one year, in any other Turkish city they decide to relocate -the Turkish governemnt also pledged and gave the words to rebuild all the houses of every victim of the disaster, planned to be completed in one year -from the first day of the disaster all mobile phones which may have been closed by the operators due to nonpayment or delay in payment was opened by government directive so everyone could communicate -no amenities were closed due to debt or those that were closed due to debt was opened, -all tax payments in the region was frozen, the government provided ease for millions of affected people Hoping no one lives through anything like this. Thank you to the world for been considerate, decent people need to make this world world. May you all live a wonderfull life with your loved ones.

Antakya (Antioch in ancient times) in 115 AD and 526 AD had two devastating earthquakes, each killing over 250,000 people, so this kind of seismic activity when it does occur can be devastating if the buildings are not built right. Kudos to these rescuers who're still finding people alive and who unfortunately have to deal with the grim task of exhuming the bodies, many of whom have been dead since the morning of Feb 6.

Listen, its important for reporters on the ground to get in there and show what's happening on the ground and tell the story. But I feel that its a bit inconsiderate to be shouting the story over a crowd of rescuers as they pull someone from the wreckage. That same message and visual could be conveyed by giving them a little room. It makes it feel like the reporter only cares about using their suffering as a backdrop. Give them some room.

They cry, “Let’s break their fetters! Let’s throw off their chains!” He who sits in heaven laughs; Adonai looks at them in derision. Then in his anger he rebukes them, terrifies them in his fury. “I myself have installed my king on Tziyon, my holy mountain.” “I will proclaim the decree: Adonai said to me, ‘You are my son; today I became your father. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance; the whole wide world will be your possession. You will break them with an iron rod, shatter them like a clay pot.’” Therefore, kings, be wise; be warned, you judges of the earth. Serve Adonai with fear; rejoice, but with trembling. Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish along the way, when suddenly his anger blazes. How blessed are all who take refuge in him.
