Turkey, Syria and adjoining countries were hit by a massive earthquake recently, killing hundreds of thousands and leaving many stranded in the debris. The latest reports suggest that the death toll has crossed 15,000 in both Turkey and Syria, and it’s a race against time to find survivors. The two countries were hit by two massive earthquakes of magnitude 7.8 and 7.5 respectively. This led to more than 3000 buildings collapsing in Turkey and Syria and reported damage across the provinces of Aleppo, Latakia, Hama and Tartus, where Russia is leasing a naval facility. Amid all this, a heartwarming video of a cat being rescued from the rubble somewhere in Turkey has gone viral on Twitter.
