Awe of the forces of nature are caused by drone footage of the Anatoli agency in Turkey, where the earthquake “dug a trench” five meters deep near the epicenter.

It is a 5-meter-deep crack in the streets of the village of Turgoglou region in Kahramanmaras, the epicenter of the powerful twin earthquakes that struck southern Turkey last week.

In the province of Hatay, due to the deadly earthquakes, it was formed a gorge 50 meters wide, dividing a large olive grove in two.

In the meantime, the homeless have been left without drinking water and with damaged sanitation infrastructure, while over 41,000 people have lost their lives in Turkey and Syria.

The WHO is working with local authorities to strengthen surveillance of waterborne diseases, seasonal flu and COVID-19 among the displaced, he said.
