The House of Representatives on Tuesday expressed its utmost compassion and deepest sympathies for the loss of lives and properties brought by the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck southeastern Turkey and northwestern Syria last February 6.
“Along with the rest of the world, the House of Representatives commiserates with those affected by the recent earthquakes in Syria and Turkey and hopes for healing and restoration as they rise from the rubbles of this horrifying catastrophe,” the resolution read. The deadly earthquake—which triggered aftershocks and tremors that affected Lebanon, Cyprus, Greece, Israel, and the Palestinian territories—caused the collapse and destruction of buildings, houses, and historical sites across the region, and led to more than 21,000 deaths as of February 8, 2023, tens of thousands of injuries, and a substantial number of missing persons.
As rescue and recovery missions continue, the death toll is still expected to increase as rescuers endeavor to search through the rubbles for casualties and survivors, according to the House.
