Turkish soldiers download aid supplies for the survivors of devastating earthquake from a Japanese plane at Incirlik military airbase in Adana, southern Turkey, Tuesday, February 14, 2023.
Thousands are left homeless by a massive earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria a week ago that left over 40,000 dead.
Japan's 2011 quake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown in the northern part of Japan provides a glimpse of what Turkey and Syria could face in the years ahead. No two events are alike, but the recent disaster resembles Japan's in the sheer enormity of the psychological trauma, of the loss of life and of the material destruction.
The U.N. chief also announced an appeal for $397 million in the next three months for the earthquake response in Syria, adding that a similar appeal is being drawn up for Turkey.
