Search for Survivors after Turkish Earthquake

Turkish rescue teams are now searching for survivors after a devastating earthquake hit the town of Ercis. Tens of thousands have been left homeless, and now have to contend with freezing temperatures. The country lies on fault lines, which makes it susceptible to earthquakes, such as the major earthquakes in 1999. It is believed that upwards of two hundred people were killed, and roughly a thousand buildings have been destroyed in this recent quake. Turkey continues to send assistance to the regions affected by the devastating earthquake.
