The two powerful earthquakes that struck southern Turkey this early morning, causing widespread damage in Turkey and Syria, have also damaged the runway of Hatay Airport, Turkey. It is believed that the earthquake is the strongest to hit Turkey in recorded history.
Next to the closure of Hatay, Gaziantep airport has been closed for commercial air traffic as the airport needs to be available for rescue missions.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that search-and-rescue teams and Red Cross units were mobilised as well as the Turkish army. Equipment and other aid materials have been dispatched to the earthquake zone from all over the country.
