There are reports that a new quake has struck tonight in the Van region, 1 hotel has collapsed, not much more information at the moment, but the quake read around 5.6 on the richter scale. So lets hope that it hasnt had such a devasting affect as the last one

The hotel was full of news reporters, search and rescue teams are there now, doesnt seem to be much news of any other casualties though, lets hope not, the hotel looks bad enough, Just heard a college has been affected too though

A 5.6 magnitude earthquake toppled a hotel in eastern Turkey late on Wednesday, sowing panic among residents in the same area where a quake killed more than 600 people recently, television reported.

As if this area hasnt suffered enough. People still desparately need tents, blankets and heaters, so many are living on the streets as afraid to go back to their homes or have no homes.

we are living in a such country, everyday is a new action. municipality and governor should resign in Van. How they analized the building after the first quake, hard to understand.  we are champion in traffic accidents, terror, eartquake, ..etc. so i wonder what is next?
