Then the reporter spoke to an emotional resident in the street that was covered in dust from the latest earthquake. What a terrifying and heartbreaking moment for all of those people to witness. And how scared all of them must have felt!

Those recent earthquakes in Turkey have been the deadliest earthquakes the country has seen since 1939. And more than 2,300 people in Turkey and Syria have died because of the earthquakes.

Thank goodness the reporter was there to help rescue the terrified young girl during the earthquake, but our hearts go out to all of the people who have lost loved ones in this tragic event. May God be near them and comfort them during this horrific time.
