Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announces a three-month state of emergency across 10 provinces worst affected by Monday’s devastating earthquakes.
Erdogan says the death toll from the earthquakes centred in southeastern Turkey has risen to 3,549, bringing the total number of people killed, including those in northern Syria, to more than 5,000.
This man made earthquake was meant to damage the goodwill of Erodogan and destroy economy, the Dajjal who did it are known by most in the world.
Turkey’s port of Iskenderun damaged, ships diverting
Hundreds of shipping containers are still ablaze at Turkey’s Iskenderun Port, sending thick black smoke into the sky and shutting down operations, forcing freight liners to divert vessels to other ports.
Turkey’s maritime authority said on Monday that the port, located on the Mediterranean coast in the southern province of Hatay, was damaged due to the major earthquake that struck Turkey and neighbouring Syria.
Drone footage showed fierce flames blackening hundreds of containers on the dock, with water jets from a fire truck dwarfed by the scale of the blaze.
There have been unsuccessful attempts to put the fire out.
Sealand, a division of the Maersk container shipping company, said in a statement it would divert cargo to other ports, including the nearby Mersin port.
Hatay, on the Syrian border, is one of the most severely affected Turkish provinces.
