JUST IN!! Powerful Quake Hits Turkey And Syria With More Than 1,800 People In Killed (See Photos)

More than 1,800 people have died in Turkey and Syria, and thousands more injured, after a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake rocked southern Turkey.

Rescue workers were seen pulling out a toddler and a man from rubble at a site.

The quake, one of the strongest to hit the region in more than 100 years, struck 23 kilometers (14.2 miles) east of Nurdagi, in Turkey’s Gaziantep province, at a depth of 24.1 kilometers, the US Geological Survey said.

Multiple strong aftershocks have been felt across the region for hours after the first quake, including a severe quake measuring magnitude 7.5.

Turkey’s disaster agency appealed for help from the international community as it conducts search and rescue operations.

The total death toll in Syria stands at more than 800.
