On 6 February 2023, two powerful earthquakes struck southern and central Turkey. The first occurred 34 km (21 mi) west of the city of Gaziantep at 04:17 TRT (01:17 UTC),[5] causing widespread damage in Turkey and Syria. With a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent) and a magnitude of at least Mww 7.8, the first earthquake is tied with the 1939 Erzincan earthquake as the strongest instrumentally recorded earthquake to hit Turkey in modern times, while possibly being surpassed by the 1668 North Anatolia earthquake.[6][7] It is also the most devastating earthquake to strike the country since the 1999 İzmit earthquake.[8]

The earthquake was followed by numerous aftershocks, the strongest of which had a magnitude of Mw 6.7. The second earthquake occurred 9 hours later, 4 km (2.5 mi) south–southeast of Ekinözü in Kahramanmaraş Province at 13:24 TRT (10:24 UTC), also having a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX and a magnitude of at least Mww  7.5. As a result of the earthquakes, more than 3,000 people were killed and more than 14,510 were injured.[9]

Tectonic setting

Geology

Map of the Anatolian Plate, featuring the East Anatolian Fault.

The preliminary location of the earthquakes places it within the vicinity of a triple-junction between the Anatolian, Arabian, and African plates. The mechanism and location of the earthquakes are consistent with the earthquake having occurred on either the East Anatolian Fault zone or the Dead Sea Transform Fault Zone. The East Anatolian Fault accommodates the westward extrusion of Turkey into the Aegean Sea, while the Dead Sea Transform accommodates the northward motion of the Arabia peninsula relative to the Africa and Eurasia plates.[1]

The East Anatolian Fault is a 700 km (430 mi)-long sinistral transform fault which forms the boundary between the Anatolian and Arabian plates. The fault display slip rates that decrease from the east at 10 mm (0.39 in) per year to the west where it is 1–4 mm (0.039–0.157 in) per year. The fault produced large earthquakes in 1789 (Mw  7.2), 1795 (Mw  7.0), 1872 (Mw  7.2), 1874 (Mw  7.1), 1875 (Mw  6.7), 1893 (Mw  7.1) and 2020 (Mw  6.8). These earthquakes ruptured individual segments of the fault. The seismically active Palu and Pütürge segments in the east display a recurrence interval of about 150 years for M 6.8–7.0 earthquakes. The Pazarcık and Amanos segments in the west have recurrence intervals of 237–772 years and 414–917 years, respectively for M 7.0–7.4 earthquakes.[10]

Seismicity

The region where the 6 February earthquakes occurred is relatively quiet seismologically. Only three earthquakes of magnitude 6 or larger have occurred within 250 km (160 mi) of the 6 February earthquakes since 1970. The largest of these, a magnitude 6.7, occurred northeast of the first 6 February earthquake on 24 January 2020. All of these earthquakes occurred along or in the vicinity of the East Anatolia fault. Despite the relative seismic quiescence of the epicentral area of the 6 February quakes, southern Turkey and northern Syria have experienced significant and damaging earthquakes in the past. Aleppo, the second largest city in Syria, was devastated several times historically by large earthquakes, though the precise locations and magnitudes of these earthquakes can only be estimated. Aleppo was struck by an estimated magnitude 7.1 earthquake in 1138 and an estimated magnitude 7.0 earthquake in 1822. Fatality estimates of the 1822 earthquake were 20,000–60,000.[1] Just 3 days before the earthquakes, Dutch researcher Frank Hoogerbeets accurately guessed that "sooner or later there will be a ~M 7.5 earthquake in this region (South-Central Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon)," closely predicting the exact location of the epicenter.[11][12]

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) measured the first earthquake at moment magnitude (Mww ) 7.8, while GEOSCOPE reported a magnitude of 8.0 Mw,[2] with this event striking at 01:17 UTC. It had an epicenter 34 km (21 mi)[5] west of Gaziantep in Gaziantep Province, which is near the border with Syria. The shock had a focal mechanism corresponding to shallow strike-slip faulting.[1] Rupture occurred on either a northwest–southeast striking, northeast dipping or northwest–southeast striking, northwest dipping fault.[2] The USGS estimated a rupture dimension of ~190 km (120 mi) long and ~25 km (16 mi) wide.[1] A professor of geophysics at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia said the earthquake may have ruptured over 300 km (190 mi) of fault. It is the strongest ever recorded in Turkey, equaling the 1939 Erzincan earthquake.[13]

The first earthquake had an aftershock measuring Mww  6.7 which occurred about 11 minutes after the mainshock.[14] There were 25 aftershocks Mw 4.0 or greater recorded within six hours of the main tremor, according to the USGS. More than 12 hours later, the USGS had reported at least 54 aftershocks of 4.3 or greater magnitude, while the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) recorded at least 120 aftershocks.[15] Tremors from the two mainshocks were detected as far away as Greenland.[16]

7.5 earthquake

A second earthquake measuring Mww  7.5 (Mw  7.7 according to GEOSCOPE[4]) struck at 10:24 UTC with an epicenter 4 km (2.5 mi) south–southeast of Ekinözü in Kahramanmaraş Province. It ruptured along an east–west striking, north dipping or north–south striking, east dipping strike-slip fault.[4] The USGS said the earthquake may have ruptured a separate fault with dimensions of ~120 km (75 mi) long and ~18 km (11 mi) wide.[3] It was followed by a mb 6.0 aftershock.

Damage

Turkey

The wreckage of a collapsed building, Galeria Business Center, Diyarbakır, Turkey.

In total, around 5,606 buildings collapsed in ten provinces across Turkey.[62] Many buildings were destroyed in Adıyaman and Diyarbakır.[63] In Diyarbakır, a shopping mall collapsed.[64] The governor of Osmaniye said 34 buildings in the province had collapsed.[65]

About 130 building collapses also occurred in Malatya.[66] A well-known 13th century mosque in the province partially collapsed.[67] The ancient Gaziantep Castle was seriously damaged.[68] Fires broke out all over the region.[69]

In Adana, two apartment buildings, one of them 17 stories high, collapsed, killing at least ten people.[70]

Video from Gaziantep

In Hatay Province, the runway of Hatay Airport was split and uplifted.[71] Two provincial hospitals and a police station were destroyed,[72] and a gas pipeline exploded.[73] The building that was the assembly of Hatay State was destroyed.[74]

Syria

Many buildings collapsed and people were trapped. Collapses occurred in the cities of Aleppo, Latakia, and Hama. In Damascus, many people fled from their homes onto the streets.[75] Hundreds were killed.[76] Many buildings in Syria had already been damaged by an almost 12-year-long civil war.[77] The Crusader-built castle Margat suffered damage, with part of a tower and parts of some walls collapsing.[75] The Citadel of Aleppo was also affected.[78]

Other countries

In Lebanon, residents were awakened from their sleep. Buildings in the country shook for up to 40 seconds. In Beirut, residents fled their homes and stayed in streets or drove in their vehicles to flee from buildings. Overall, the earthquake's impact on Lebanon was limited, with some buildings damaged in the cities of Miniyeh, El Minya, and Bourj Hammoud.[75][79][80]

In Ashdod, Israel, a building was evacuated after cracks were observed on a pillar,[81] and in Nicosia, Cyprus, some windows cracked,[82] and the wall of a house collapsed, damaging two nearby vehicles.[83]

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre said shaking was felt in Armenia, Egypt, Georgia, Greece, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Palestine and Romania. In Iraq, fans, frames and other hanging objects were heavily shaking.[84][85][86] In Iraq many residents stayed outdoors while waiting for an announcement that it was safe to return to their homes. An aftershock hit hours later, causing buildings to be evacuated. No deaths or injuries have been reported.[87]

Estimation of losses

According to a professor of geophysics at the Kandilli Observatory, the death toll could be similar to the 1999 İzmit earthquake, in which 18,373 people died.[88] The United States Geological Survey PAGER service estimated a 35 percent probability of economical losses between US $1 billion and US $10 billion. The service estimated a 34 percent probability of deaths between 100 and 1,000; 31 percent probability of deaths between 1,000 and 10,000.[89] This estimate was made before the second earthquake hit. Meanwhile, Risklayer estimated a death toll of between 5,200 and 48,500, and an economic loss of around $20 billion USD (₺370 billion lira, 50 trillion LS.)[90]

Casualties

Turkey

In Turkey, at least 2,316 people across 10 provinces died and an additional 12,068 were injured.[91] Some people who were trapped under rubble live streamed their pleas for help on social media.[92] Prior to the magnitude 7.5 earthquake hitting Kahramanmaraş, at least 70 deaths were confirmed in the city.[93] President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan reported that 2,818 buildings had collapsed.[94]

Several prominent individuals were listed as missing after the earthquake. These include Hatayspor's Ghanaian winger, Christian Atsu and sporting director, Taner Savut, believed to have been trapped when their club's quarters collapsed in Antakya, and Yeni Malatyaspor's goalkeeper, Ahmet Eyüp Türkaslan.[95]

Syria

At least 1,250 people were killed and 2,403 were injured in Syria.[96][97][93][98] The Syrian Ministry of Health recorded over 460 earthquake-related deaths and 1,089 injuries in government-held areas;[99] including in the provinces of Aleppo, Latakia, Hama and Tartus.[100] More than 200 died in the cities of Aleppo, Hama and Latakia.[101][102] In rebel-held areas, at least 527 people died while 419 others were injured.[99][100][98] In the village of Atmed, 11 people died and many residents were buried.[66] The President of the Syrian American Medical Society, Amjad Rass, said emergency rooms were packed with injured.[103] In Idlib Governorate, a hospital received 30 bodies.[104] A further 1,089 were injured in government-controlled areas, while in rebel-controlled areas the number of injured stood at 419.[98][105] Syrian footballer Nader Joukhadar, who played for the national team, was killed alongside his son when their home collapsed in Jableh.[106]

Tsunami alert

Small tsunami waves were recorded off the coast of Famagusta, Cyprus, without damage, according to the Geological Survey Department.[107]

The Civil Protection Department of Italy issued an alert, which was later withdrawn, reporting the risk of possible tsunami waves striking the coasts of Sicily, Calabria and Apulia.[108][109][110] Coastal residents in the aforementioned regions were advised to flee to higher ground and follow local authorities,[108][109] while state-owned train operator Trenitalia temporarily suspended rail services in the areas, which were later resumed the same morning.[109][110]

Response

Turkey

Rescue work at the destroyed Galeria Business Center in Diyarbakır. One of the buildings in the background later collapsed following an aftershock

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Twitter, "search and rescue teams were immediately dispatched" to the affected area. Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu urged residents to refrain from entering damaged buildings.[111]

The national government declared a "level four alert" to appeal for international aid.[87] According to the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency, a total of 9,698 search and rescue personnel were dispatched to the area. An "air aid corridor" was established by the Turkish Armed Forces to mobilize search and rescue teams. Many military aircraft including an Airbus A400M and C-130 Hercules planes transported search and rescue teams and vehicles to the area. Food, blankets and psychological teams were also sent.[112] Turkey sent an official request to NATO and allies for assistance.[113]

In an official statement, Minister of Youth and Sports Mehmet Kasapoğlu announced that every national championship would be suspended with immediate effect, until further communications.[114][115] Minister of National Education Mahmut Özer ordered a week-long closure of all schools in the country.[116]

Emergency services in Turkey rushed to search for survivors trapped under many collapsed buildings. At least 2,470 people were rescued from rubble.[117] In Adana, people could be heard shouting from under debris. Cranes and emergency teams in Diyarbakir attended to a pancaked apartment building.[102]

Poor weather conditions including snow, rain and freezing temperatures disrupted search and rescue efforts undertaken by rescue workers and civilians. Rescuers and volunteers wore winter clothing while searching for survivors.[118]

President Erdoğan had phone calls with governors and mayors from his Justice and Development Party (AKP) but did not contact mayors from the opposition political parties.[119]

Syria

Syrian media reported a large number of buildings collapsing in the northern Aleppo Governorate, as well as several in the city of Hama. In Damascus, many people fled from their homes onto the streets.[111][120] Syria's National Earthquake Centre said the earthquake is "the biggest earthquake recorded" in its operational history.[67] According to SANA, the state news agency, President Bashar al-Assad held an emergency meeting with his cabinet to organize a rescue plan in the most hit regions.[121]

Sanctions imposed in relation to the Syrian civil war have exacerbated the hardship of average Syrians, as nations and organizations would not be able to offer direct assistance for fear of being subjected to sanctions. There were demands to lift or suspend the sanctions in order to aid humanitarian efforts following the earthquake.[122][123]
