土耳其东部的地震中，多人死亡。根据当局的说法，至少70人已确定死亡，但他们担心这个数字会达到数百。国际红十字会发言人Joe Lowry说，一场重大灾难似乎在蔓延。

"Turkish Red Crescent is mounting a massive relief operation. They've already got 1,000 tents, 5,000 blankets, food, stoves and water on the way there. I think that's coming from local stocks and more would be arriving from Ankara and Istanbul. But it does seem sort of a large earthquake in terms of magnitude and effect."

“土耳其红十字正在进行大规模的救援工作，在赶去救援的路上已经收到1000个帐篷、5000个毯子、食物、炉子和水，我想这些都来自当地库存，更多的应该来自安卡拉和伊斯坦布。就震级和后果来看，这似乎是场大地震。”
