February 7th, 2022. Imagine you are at school, at work, or at home and suddenly, everything starts shaking. Buildings tear down, debris fly everywhere, and there is no escape.
This is what happened in the Middle Eastern countries of Turkey and Syria. There was a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that killed over 7900 people and injured over 40,000 more.
Whats even worse is that there are freezing weather conditions, making rescues even more difficult. This is the strongest earthquake to hit this region in over a hundred of years, and it came out of nowhere.
According to the World Health Organization, over 23 million people can be affected by this.
With the growing increase of the severity of climate change, events like this will become more unpredictable and more severe. It is time to take action now.
