My sister and her husband live in Nizip, Gaziantep. They are fine; they spent the night outside with their baby boy. So far, I haven’t heard any losses from my close circles. So far (11 AM, 6 Feb 2023), 284 are dead officially.
Damaging M7.8 EQ hit southern Turkey near the Syrian border ~4am local time. PAGER is red for this event; extensive damage is probable. Our hearts go out to those affected. See @Kandilli_info for local info. https://t.co/dMyc6ZVrE1 https://t.co/0OxrznZf1v pic.twitter.com/eco071JqVm
