Another earthquake was felt this morning (Tuesday) in Turkey, but it was weaker and reached a magnitude of 5.6.
At this stage, the epicenter of the earthquake is still unclear.
The death toll in the country stands at more than 1,762 people, following two strong earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.8 that occurred during the night between Sunday and Monday.
In the freezing cold, without a roof
As the hours pass, the number of people killed in the earthquake disaster in Turkey is increasing, while the rescue teams in the southeast of the country also know that the chances of finding the missing alive are slowly diminishing.
The reason is that it usually takes up to 24 hours from the moment of the collapse to find survivors, while the freezing weather in the disaster area does not leave much hope for the missing who have been under the rubble for more than a day.

Despite the temperatures dropping below zero, residents in the affected cities spent the first night after the disaster in the streets, in the freezing cold, with some huddling around fires to keep warm.
Some of the families who were left without a roof, and also those who are afraid of returning to their homes for fear of collapse, huddled in their cars that the heating was working.
