The devastating earthquake in Turkey and its political aftershocks

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Ali Mustafa, Istanbul-based correspondent for TRT World The United Nations has launched an appeal for $1 billion in aid to help victims in Turkey as the country reels from massive decimation and displacement after a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck near the Syrian border and left over 40,000 dead. As hope is running out for survivors, questions have arisen about why the earthquake was so deadly in a region that's prone to them. Had the government not taken proactive steps? Could an unprecedented tragedy that might take generations to process change the entire political landscape of Turkey? This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Brian Bradley and Paolo Marques.
