Turkey earthquake
On 6 February 2023 a catastrophic and deadly earthquake struck southern and central Turkey and western Syria. It occurred 34 km (21 mi) west of the city of Gaziantep causing widespread damage and tens of thousands of fatalities in the region. The earthquake is tied with the 1939 Erzincan earthquake as the strongest recorded earthquake to hit Turkey in modern times and the deadliest earthquake to strike the country since the 1999 Izmit earthquake. It caused structural damage as far away as Israel and Cyprus. — Wikipedia
