Istanbul Earthquake Causes Widespread Damage
Istanbul EarthquakeBREAKING NEWS: Powerful Earthquake Strikes Istanbul, Causing Widespread Damage
Istanbul, Turkey – October 10, 2024
A devastating earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.8 struck near Istanbul earlier today, sending shockwaves across the city and triggering panic among residents. The quake, which hit at approximately 9:17 AM local time, was centered in the Marmara Sea, about 20 kilometers south of Istanbul’s densely populated districts.
Casualties and Damage
Initial reports indicate significant structural damage, particularly in older neighborhoods where buildings collapsed. At least 47 people have been confirmed dead, with hundreds more injured, according to Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD). Rescue teams are working tirelessly to search for survivors trapped under rubble.
Hospitals are overwhelmed as emergency services struggle to respond to the influx of injured victims. Power outages and communication disruptions have been reported in several areas, complicating rescue efforts.
Public Reaction and Government Response
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed the nation, urging calm and pledging full state support for recovery efforts. 'We are mobilizing all available resources to assist those affected,' he said. 'Our priority is saving lives and providing shelter.'
Residents, many still traumatized by the catastrophic 1999 İzmit earthquake, took to the streets in fear as aftershocks continued throughout the day. Social media footage showed collapsed buildings, cracked roads, and frantic evacuations.
International Aid and Warnings
The European Union and neighboring countries, including Greece and Azerbaijan, have offered assistance. Seismologists have long warned that Istanbul, sitting near the active North Anatolian Fault, is at high risk for a major quake. Today’s disaster has reignited debates about the city’s preparedness and building safety standards.
What’s Next?
Authorities are urging residents to avoid damaged structures and stay in open spaces as aftershocks remain a threat. With search-and-rescue operations ongoing, the death toll is expected to rise.
Stay tuned for further updates as this developing story unfolds.
