CNN — A magnitude 6.3 aftershock struck southern Turkey on Monday injuring eight people, according to an official, two weeks after a massive earthquake killed tens of thousands of people in Turkey and Syria.

 

Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay told a press conference Monday that eight people were injured following the aftershock, adding that a tsunami warning has been removed.

 

“We have eight injured people brought to our hospitals,” he said as he asked the public “not to enter the damaged buildings, especially to take their belongings.”

Thank gosh Turkey is a fairly large country, and some of these people can move within the country

if transportation is provided by the Turkish government. That should be something the Turkish government leader

could have thought of by now. Just my opinion of course.
