ВОСТОЧНАЯ ТУРЦИЯ ПОСТРАДАЛА В РЕЗУЛЬТАТЕ СИЛЬНОГО ЗЕМЛЕТРЯСЕНИЯ

Примерно до тысячи человек погибли во время землетрясения в Юго-Восточной Турции сила которого составила 7,2 балла.

По данным Геологической службы США землетрясение произошло в 13:40 по местному времени в воскресенье (10:40 GMT). Оно полностью разрушило 50 многоквартирных жилых домов, в том числе общежития в городе Ван, а также в соседнем городе Эрджиш. Около 1000 домов разрушено.


"По нашим оценкам погибло от 500 до 1000", сказал Мустафа Эрдик, глава обсерватории Университета Кандилли. Оценка сейсмологической службы основана на силе землетрясения и структуре жилищного строительства в регоине.


Предложения о помощи и выражения скорби пришли из многих стран. Армения и Азербайджан были в числе первых стран, которые предложили помощь. России, Европейский Союза и НАТО также предложили свою помощь.
