THE ENSUING REPUBLICAN ENGENEERED ECONOMIC SHUTDOWN CHAOS OF 2023 HAS PEOPLE KNOW FLOP FLIPPING FIBBERS ARE GOOD FOR HURTING THE U S. WITH GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS / REMEMBER AND VOTE THEM OUT !
That’s a lot of people going to afterlife !
YESSSSSSS!!!!
I dunno about it being the deadliest. The Armenian genocide comes to mind.
That was nothing compared what they did to the Greeks. The Armenians were on vacation compared to what happened to the Greeks.
Greeks are the most important people of this planet.
The only people that matter are Greek.
Rest of you are just a bunch of Neanderthals.
The Greeks were enslaved by the savages for 500 plus years.
God is Greek . Saint Sofia is a Greek church.
Walla acbard !!!!
That is not our history but glad to see you people being this vindictive, we will remember that
@kızgın tosbağa Read
United Nations War Crimes Report -May 28,1948
UN Genocide Report 1985
Starting April 24,1915 and upto 1923,
1.5 million Armanians were killed by Turkey Authorities.
This is the second biggest genocide in the history of human civilization.
A group of 40000 Armanians were sent to Alleppo in Syria after confiscating all their properties.
Only 200 reached Alleppo.
Women were crucifed naked.
Tanner Akkam-Turkish historian describes Armanian Massacre.
Orhan Pamuk, Turkish Novelist, winner of Nobel prize in literature, mentions Armanian Massacre.
You are too ignorant of history to know that the Armenian people massacred the Kurds and the Turks.
@Orçun Baran FIRTINA A wolf before killing a sheep will have its own justifications.
How did they survive without water?
Some may have been well hydrated.
Its freezing cold with heavy snowfall in some provinces + they were laying still most of the time so they didnt lose much water + a few recycled their own urine.
@Audrey Daleski I know a story when one person was carrying a 5 gallon bag of water when it happened
Very pathatik
😢.
Amazing
Very
So the powers that be have successfully launched a earthquake in hati they did the same thing in Indonesia Then they did it in Hati one more time and now turkey if you think these earthquakes are natural causes you are completely delusional.
@Richie Tozier Why not Haiti the French have destroyed That country ever since Haiti got their independence do some research and you will see how evil Europeans were modern aka modern day Americans. You think these seismic activities are natural they’re not they can create tsunami’s they can create earthquakes they Manipulate whatever they want.
@Rick Rick attack Haiti before China or Russia? That doesn’t make sense.
@Richie Tozier Repeat after me: abcdefg hijklmnop qrs…
OMG I hope I hope they can hold on until help arrives.
So how did earthquakes happen in 1900 or before then?
If you think earthquakes are caused intentionally by people then you’re the one who’s delusional.
About 15 years ago a CNN documentary (Horizon) clearly warned about this (not if, but when), hoping they’d do something about the poorly constructed buildings too.
Unfortunately nothing has been done and now it happened.. 👀
All the Greek ruins on our land over there are still up.
The knuckle dragging Neanderthals are a bunch of in breads .
When your parents are first cousins, you’re not going to build things correctly.
You know I have been hearing a lot about the Syrian people they believe the world has abandoned them and turn their back with assisting them in this earthquake disaster well they probably need to thank their Russian counterparts because Russia has control of Syria and Russia doesn’t care about them so that might have something to do with why disaster aid isn’t able to go into Syria. Russia has caused more harm and damage to Syria than the earthquake did in my opinion
American right ? Only Americans think that way
@kızgın tosbağa Turkish here, thinking similar. Under every stone you find Russia or similar kind of corrupt Tyranny.
How is this Russia’s fault again? 😂 you all need to stop vilifying Russia for everything. In this case there’s a Civil war ongoing for Years and the Govt forces sees this as a perfect chance to curb the rebels and it’s Bashar Al-Assad’s decision. If an American ally(when Israel goes on killing Palestinian’s then did you blame America?) SMH
@Uma Beg Russia abandoned Syria because it had to concentrate all of its resources on the war with Ukraine, which is nothing but a proxy war between U.S. and Russia, carefully crafted by the U.S. over the past several decades.
@Team Spirit Not same thing, If Israel’s government kills its own people just to stay in power and USA keeps supports that govertnment, than it would be the same thing. And Russia is not to blame, but the Tsar is. Even a 5 year old can see this.
use ambuja cement
Rip to all lives lost🙏
Over 40,000 people died in the middle of the night. May God Have Mercy on their souls.
Not all died overnight, many died waiting to be saved days later..really sad
@Kyla buried alive
This is our (humans’) okat, meaning our worth in the universe.
“Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.”
– James 4:14
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it.”
– Matthew 7:13
“Jesus told him, ‘I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
– John 14:6
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
– Acts 4:12
“And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.”
– Ezekiel 36:26
“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
– John 8:12
“I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.”
– Proverbs 1:24
Checking what kind of aid is been brought to the people ts good government 👏 .
Build back better to honor all these people.
Interesting how the news media from US is the only country to still use the word “Turkey” instead of “Turkiye”. After the country officially and legally changed their name, US is ignorant and respectful
Everyone! NOTHING TO SEE HERE! Focus on Alien China 🇨🇳 Balloon 👽, So much more important!
Everyone! NOTHING TO SEE HERE Folks! Focus on Alien China 🇨🇳 Balloon 👽, So much more important!
I was thinking the same thing.this should be head line News on every channel.dont forget about them.
Its increasing,just one day before came to know,just in 1 town,15000 still missing,so this 40000 figure is still grossly undercount.
Remember the childhood prayer: “Lord, if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take…”
My prayer is they prayed something like that. May our Lord be merciful to these souls and forgive them. And encourage and assist the survivors.
The international community has exposed its true image of hypocrisy in its response to help Syria – The same international community is spending billions in weapons for Ukraine- they spend more money in wars to destroy humanity than they spend to help innocent victims- The Earthquake exposes where evil really lives.
please GOD keep people alive under the ruble until they get rescued
✝️🎺
Sadly i think its going to double and be 80,000 people. 6000 buildings collapsed at like 4:30 am, So most people were at home sleeping. I hope they keep finding survivors and not giving up
Will the war between these 2 countries continue after nature has assisted them to reduce their populations ?
Ok, you survive 100 hours. But you have nothing, not even a home, so you are saved but will suffer indefinitely.

@Whip Lash beats me!
🆘 UPDATE: Earthquake Response Latest 🚩
Meeting the Most Urgent Needs
[PLEASE SHARE]
IOCC continues working with partners to get resources to those in need across the region affected by Monday’s earthquakes.
Amid terrible loss, injuries, and displacement, IOCC is addressing the most basic human needs of survivors. In Syria, IOCC’s partner, the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East, Department of Ecumenical Relations and Development, has reported that the destruction in Syria has left tens of thousands in need of shelter. The winter weather, with temperatures below freezing at night, makes the situation all the more urgent.
To meet their immediate needs, IOCC has released initial funds to help people in Syria.
This will include providing:
Blankets, pillows, and other bedding
Warm clothing
Water and food
For many of us, it’s difficult to comprehend not only the scale of the devastation but also what people are experiencing right now in Syria and Turkey.
Give now to help us respond in the most effective way possible.
Please be as generous as you can, and please continue praying for everyone affected by this tragedy.

I am so thankful for those found alive, especially the little ones. I am equally as horrified at the number of dead!
Well death will come to you like a thief in the night? Do you know jesus yet or are you still waiting until something tragic happens?
