Survivors of the earthquake that jolted Turkey and Syria 15 days ago dealt with more trauma and loss Tuesday after another strong quake and aftershocks rocked the region.

Monday’s quake was felt in Jordan, Cyprus, Israel, Lebanon and Egypt. A magnitude 5.8 quake followed, along with dozens of aftershocks. The White Helmets, northwest Syria’s civil defense organization, said about 190 people suffered injuries in rebel-held areas and that several flimsy buildings collapsed but there were no reports of anyone stuck under the debris.
“We are trying to stay strong but it is a terrifying process. The cities we knew, the memories we had, have been destroyed,” he said. “When we go in the streets, there is only rubble and heavy machinery. It’s like a horror movie scene.” “They feel so alone, so deserted and very anxious. Even a small tremor leads to a big anxious reaction,” he said.
“We have nothing left. Our home, our homeland, our children. We lost our work. Our situation is painful,” Ozalp said.
