Turkey is rocked by powerful 5.5 magnitude earthquake

Turkey is rocked by powerful 5.5 magnitude earthquake just weeks after it shattered by catastrophe that left 50,000 dead and more than a million homeless

A powerful earthquake has struck Turkey again today amid the nation’s struggle to recover from a series of disasters this month. 

It has been reported that a 5.2 magnitude earthquake has taken a blow to central Turkey, just days after two further quakes hit the border near Syria. 

 At 10.27am, the alarm was raised by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre that an earthquake struck the area at a depth of 10km.

It comes at a time when both Turkey and Syria had begun work to reconstruct homes for the millions that were displaced by the tragedy. 

More than 50,000 have also been killed as a result of the quakes, with many trapped under debris fighting for their lives.
