Killer Quakes: How prepared is Turkiye?
A 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck Istanbul in April 2025. Scenes of panic gave way to concern that while no deaths were reported this time and very little damage to buildings seems to have occurred, due to poor building practises, negligence and mismanagement, the next time may not be so lucky. Turkiye sits on 3 tectonic plates making it a very seismically active zone and so many are asking just how prepared is the Mediterranean country for large earthquakes?

Many people dying in Gaza due to ‘totally’ crippled health care system: Palestinian doctor
Many people in Gaza are dying due to a “totally” crippled health care system, a situation exacerbated by recent bombings by Tel Aviv that have further strained the enclave’s already limited medical resources, a Palestinian doctor said.
