Turkey Earthquake Today Live Updates: A major earthquake of magnitude 7.8 hit Turkey and Syria a few hours ago leaving at least 912 people dead and several hundreds injured. The death toll is still mounting. People are being pulled out from under dozens of buildings which collapsed in the temblor. The death toll is more in Syria.

The government decided to immediately dispatch search and rescue teams of the National Disaster Response Force, medical teams and relief material to earthquake-hit Turkey following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s instructions to offer all possible assistance to the country. Two teams of the NDRF comprising 100 personnel with specially trained dog squads and necessary equipment are ready to be flown to the earthquake-hit area for search and rescue operations. Medical teams are also being readied with trained doctors and paramedics with essential medicines. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among the world leaders who reached out to quake-hit Turkey. “India stands in solidarity with the people of Turkey and is ready to offer all possible assistance to cope with this tragedy,” the PM said.

The killer 7.8 earthquake was centred north of the city of Gaziantep about 90 kilometres (60 miles) from the Syrian border. This is the region which houses millions of refugees from the Syrian civil war. The quake was felt as far away as Cairo. Keep scrolling down to read the latest updates on what’s happening.

Don't know who they are but it is a natural phenomenon that happens inside earth. Tectonic plates under himalayas are super active and they are bound to shift causing release of energy resulting in quakes. Just hope that they don't do it in a big way. Even california sits on a such a spot and probably they have some warning measures (not sure though). But there are no such preparations in India.

I guess if a strong earthquake hits Delhi, half of it will be flattened or semi-flattened.

Their warning systems in Yosemite valley is unbelievable. They have deployed ai there to warn them. Same in Yellowstone park. They even use the rotation of the earth in the solar system to determine earthquakes in advance https://twitter.com/hogrbe?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoog...
