At least 51 dead in Turkey and the Greek islands earthquake Voice of America

At least 51 people were killed and nearly 900 others injured in the earthquake that knocked out buildings in the Turkish city of Izmir and triggered sea storms on at least two Greek islands.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, rescue teams in Turkey recovered a man alive from under the rubble of a collapsed building. The man, named Ahmed Setim, survived for 33 hours under the rubble of an apartment building flattened to the ground during the earthquake.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Izmir on Saturday evening and promised that the government would help victims who lost their homes with temporary housing and rent, and start construction of new buildings.

The deadly earthquake 7.0 originated from a 250-km fault line off the coast of the Greek island of Samos, flowing through the Aegean Sea that divides Turkey and Greece. Hundreds of aftershocks followed.

Just hours after the earthquake, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis made a rare phone call to the Turkish president to offer his condolences.

Mitsotakis wrote on Twitter: “Whatever our differences, these are times when people need to stand together.”

Erdogan responded in a double tweet: “For neighbors to show solidarity and support in difficult times is more valuable than many things in life.”

The United States commended Greek-Turkish diplomacy over the earthquake and expressed its willingness to assist the two countries NATO.

“It’s great to see both countries putting their differences aside to help each other during their time of need,” said Robert O’Brien, the US national security advisor.

France also offered the two countries its “full solidarity with both Greece and Turkey.”

Although Greece and Turkey are both members of NATO, there may not be two neighboring allies whose dealings have been marked by much conflict and mistrust. Recently, the two sides were caught up in a heated energy showdown in the Eastern Mediterranean, which brought them to the brink of war over the summer.

The European Union and the United States have been working for months, hoping to sit down on both sides to negotiate their differences, but to no avail.

It remains unclear whether the fatal earthquake can strengthen ties.
