After the earthquake in Turkey and Syria.. Italy reveals the “tsunami” warning level

The Italian authorities lowered the warning level of a tsunami in the south of the country.

Early on Monday, the Italian authorities issued a tsunami warning after a strong earthquake shook central Turkey and northern and western Syria.

And the Syrian Ministry of Health announced that the death toll from the earthquake had risen to 237 deaths and 639 injuries, mostly in Latakia, Aleppo, Hama and Tartous.

The Director General of the National Center for Seismology, Raed Ahmed, explained that Syria was affected by the earthquake in general in its various regions, while the areas near the epicenter were in Idlib, Latakia and Aleppo, the most affected, according to the Syrian news agency “SANA”.

And Ahmed indicated in a statement that aftershocks have occurred and will occur successively, but they are much weaker than the strength of the earthquake that occurred, indicating that citizens who came down from their homes to the roads can return to their homes if they are not cracked, because all subsequent aftershocks are weaker in intensity.

He pointed out that this earthquake is the strongest since 1995, explaining that the state of seismic instability will continue, but with weaker tremors and within the limits of 5 degrees.

For its part, the Turkish Disaster Management Agency said, on Monday, that 76 people were killed and 440 others were injured in the devastating earthquake, which shook several provinces in the south of the country.
