Earthquake Disaster in Turkey and Syria: A Discussion with Faculty

Abstract: Two big earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria on February 6. Thousands of buildings collapsed, and hundreds of thousands became trapped under the rubble. So far more than 21,000 lost their lives, and many more are injured. The death toll is estimated to reach 200,000 as more bodies are recovered. Entire cities and villages have been destroyed. With more than 10 million people left homeless, some doubly by war and now natural disaster, the earthquake stands as one of the biggest humanitarian crises of this century.
