The strongest earthquakes hit the Gaziantep province in southern Turkey, near the Syrian border and the city of Aleppo. However, the tremors were felt as far as Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Georgia, Armenia, and Cyprus. While Turkey has seen the majority of casualties, Syria's situation is particularly dire due to a decade of Western sanctions that have hindered its ability to rebuild from the damage caused by the Western-backed proxy war from 2012-2017. While EU Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen tweeted that "Europe's support" was on its way to Turkey and Syria, European and U.S. sanctions have limited the availability of basic goods and services, including medical supplies, exacerbating the already dire consequences of the earthquake. #Gaziantep #Aleppo #Earthquake #shortsfeed #shorts #news ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHDcDynWkII Thu, 09 Apr 2026 04:50:14 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/8c5abdcb-7821-4dc9-843f-90a28b9fb345 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
