Dozens of strong aftershocks are following the 7.8-magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale that shook southeastern Turkey and northern Syria early Monday morning.
The epicenter, located about 100 kilometers north of Aleppo (Syria), is located in an area of high seismic intensity, where the Anatolian and Arabian tectonic plates converge.
At the moment, there are confirmed at least 1,300 deaths and thousands of injuries in the area.
The shock has been felt in several neighboring countries such as Lebanon, Israel, Cyprus and Jordan.
The earthquake has caused the collapse of buildings in several of the affected areas.
