The earthquake in Van, Turkey with the Magnitude of 5.6 killed an estimated 40 people but that number appears to be rising. Last month, another earthquake in Van, Turkey had the magnitude of 7.2 and left 604 dead. The winter in Turkey is causing more and more deaths as people have been abandoned from their homes. We found this article interesting because it mentions that Turkey is not getting much aid from outside sources. It does not appear to be fair because although it is not as big as an earthquake as let's say Haiti, that does not mean it does not deserve attention. This rises tension between Turkish people and the government because the lack of effort to reach out and aid those suffering as a result of the winter and lack of resources provided.
