Did you know that there was an earthquake in Istanbul, Turkey? I didn't know this. I think I should pay attention to the news more often. There were 570 deaths and 2,500 injured. Then there was thirteen year old Serhat Tokay. He was stuck under the rubble and debris from the powerful earthquake for 5 days. Turns out, by some miracle, he was only slightly injured, though he understandably asked for food and water. The earthquake was a 7.2 on the Richter scale. Housing supplies are coming in from England, Ireland, and Japan and many organizations are helping out with the aftermath.
This just makes me realize more of what is going on in the world. It is really amazing. However, what is even better is that all of these other countries are helping out Turkey in its time of need. This is newsworthy because it is imperative to know what is going on not just in your country but in others as well.
