Echoes of Fear in Aleppo

Last week, Syria was hit with a series of tremors that stirred up painful memories for the people of Aleppo. The city felt dozens of small to moderate quakes, culminating in a more intense tremor at midnight on Monday. As the tremors grew stronger, residents grew anxious, fearing a repeat of the catastrophic earthquakes they’ve endured in the past.

Last year’s earthquake was particularly devastating, claiming thousands of lives, leaving many homeless, and causing extensive property damage. Even though the recent tremors were relatively minor, they amplified fears of a major quake returning.

Crete For Life was instrumental in the humanitarian response in the wake of last year’s disaster, and experts stress the importance of being prepared for any future emergencies. It’s crucial to take preventive measures and strengthen infrastructure to withstand potential quakes. Authorities need to ensure the population is protected and supported if another earthquake strikes.

Understanding the risks of earthquakes and being prepared for emergencies is essential for everyone.
