The catastrophic earthquake that has already claimed more than 5,000 lives might have an impact on 23 million people, according to the World Health Organization, which also noted that the estimated death toll has surpassed 20,000. International nations are sending equipment, sniffer dogs, and specialised crews to assist in the rescue operations. In the wake of earthquakes in the western Asian nation, the Indian government has summoned an urgent conference with Indian airlines that fly to Turkey.
Due to road damage and other logistical problems brought on by the catastrophic earthquake that slammed the two nations on Monday, the supply of essential United Nations aid from Turkey to northwest Syria has temporarily stopped, a UN Spokesperson said.Many of the disaster-affected families, according to UN Secretary General António Guterres, “are already in grave need of humanitarian relief in locations where access is a difficulty,” prompting the appeal for an international response to the catastrophe.
A fifth earthquake, measuring magnitude 5.4, has shaken eastern Turkey today, according to USGS, as the nation deals with the enormous destruction that has occurred over the past 48 hours. Early on Tuesday morning, Pakistan refused to let an Indian Air Force plane fly through its airspace to Turkey. The flight was rerouted, and the country has since received help. Pakistan is attempting to stop India from delivering humanitarian aid to countries that require it for the second time.
