People duck for cover at Hatay airport as another earthquake hits Turkey

Guardian, 21 Feb 2023
A powerful 6.4-magnitude earthquake has hit Turkey’s southern province of Hatay, terrifying those left in a region devastated by powerful twin earthquakes two weeks earlier. People scrambled for cover at Hatay's airport after the substantial shake. The quake, less powerful than the initial 7.8- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes that tore through southern Turkey and northern Syria on 6 February, is threatening yet more devastation in a region where people have already been forced to flee from their destroyed homes to safety.
