Turkey is reeling after another powerful earthquake, this one a magnitude 7.5, following just hours after a deadly magnitude 7.8 quake. Between that country and Syria, over 1,300 people are believed to have been killed and thousands more injured.
President Biden is offering assistance after devastating earthquakes rocked Turkey, leaving over 1,300 dead in that country and neighboring Syria. A powerful magnitude 7.8 quake was the first to strike in south central Turkey, with another magnitude 7.5 quake bringing even more devastation. U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says Biden has directed USAID to assess all response options. That's just one of dozens of offers of assistance being made today, with even warring countries like Ukraine and Russia saying they're ready to send rescue teams to Turkey. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted that while his Starlink satellite internet is not yet approved in Turkey, the service can be established as soon as it is.
