Strong Quake Causes Further Buildings to Collapse in Turkey

A strong aftershock in Eastern Turkey has caused at least 25 buildings to collapse. The aftershock measured 5.6 on the Richter Scale. Last month the region suffered a much stronger earthquake of 7.2. Many of the newly collapsed buildings were empty, but two were hotels occupied by journalists and aid workers. It is believed that many of the buildings must have been weakened in the original quake and clearly show how populations that have recently suffered on hazard are more vulnerable to future hazards.
