New earthquake hits Turkey, weeks after massive quake kills tens of thousands l GMA



now to Turkey reeling this morning from another deadly earthquake just two weeks after the math of quake that killed 10th of thousands. Marcus Moore joined us with the latest. Good morning, Marcus. Michael. Good morning. It's just a sad update. Another blow for families already enduring the aftermath of a catastrophic string of earthquakes sent running for safety once again last night, and there have been more than 90 aftershocks following this new earthquake overnight.

Search and rescue teams in Turkey and Syria, surveying the damage, searching through rubble using flashlights looking for anyone who may still be trapped after another powerful earthquake struck the region. The 6.3 magnitude quake coming just two weeks after tens of thousands died in the region and a pair of catastrophic earthquakes. Families seen hugging and sleeping in open streets overnight, fearing their apartment buildings could collapse. Dash camera video capturing the moment the earthquake began to strike violently shaking the ground around 8 p.m. Local time Monday, plunging neighborhoods into darkness and sending dust from collapsed buildings into the air chaos at the airport as the quake shook the building, people scrambling running to duck and cover.

This local politician running for shelter as the ground starts to move mid interview panic on the ground among residents still reeling from the horrors of the last two weeks. And we are hearing of more devastation in Syria. The White Helmets volunteer group says more than 130 people were injured. There's some of them hurt running for safety others after jumping from high areas and Robin, this could not have come at a worse time. There are already millions of people left homeless from that string of earthquakes early in February. And now this now this Marcus. Thank you.
