A pre-dawn earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 hit the Turkish city of Gaziantep on Monday morning and a second measured at 7.6 struck nearby just nine hours later, according to Turkey’s disaster response management agency. The quakes killed about 1,500 people in Turkey, while more than 460 perished in Syria.
As night fell and snowfall increased, millions of people were left in the cold without heating gas, electricity or gasoline for their cars. Among them were many of Turkey’s 3.7 million registered Syrian refugees, the biggest such population in the world.
