A new 6.4 magnitude earthquake has struck parts of Turkey and Syria that were laid waste two weeks ago by a massive tremor that killed around 45,000 people.
Turkish interior minister Suleyman Soylu said three people were killed and 213 were injured in the latest quake, as more buildings collapsed.
A number of buildings collapsed in the new quake, trapping people inside, Hatay’s mayor Lutfu Savas said. In the Turkish city of Adana, witness Alejandro Malaver said people left homes for the streets, carrying blankets into their cars. He added that people are really scared and “no one wants to get back into their houses”.
Mr Oktay said inspections for damage were under way in Hatay, and urged citizens to stay away from damaged buildings and to carefully follow rescue teams’ directions.
