ActionAid is devastated to hear the news of a second powerful earthquake hitting the Turkey-Syria border. The earthquake measured 6.4 on the Richter scale and is likely to cause further untold damage and loss of life in a region already facing considerable trauma. Coastal communities are being advised to seek refuge inland as sea levels rise as a result of the shock.
