Earthquake in Turkey
A powerful earthquake struck Turkey and Syria on February 6 last year. It had a magnitude of 7.8. In total, over 50,000 people lost their lives. One of the most affected by the earthquake was the Turkish city of Adiyaman.
The material losses were enormous – tens of thousands of buildings were only suitable for demolition. During the rescue operation, several “miracles” occurred. The services managed to get an infant, several children, adults, and a horse out of the rubble, which had spent 21 days under the rubble of the building.
After the earthquake, rescue teams from countries around the world participated in rescue operations in Turkey. Polish firefighters and rescuers also helped on the spot.
