Bad weather in Turkey, obstacle in rescue

Bad weather in Turkey is causing a lot of trouble in relief and rescue operations. Due to the strong winds, flights from Istanbul and Ankara to the eastern region have been cancelled. Heavy snowfall is also happening in these cities. Due to this, relief workers are not able to reach the affected cities. There is a lot of snow in the city of Gaziantep, which was hit hard by the earthquake. Those who are left in these cities are afraid to go home. This is the reason why they have to stand in the open amid heavy snowfall. Many countries of the world including America have announced help.

The people of Gaziantep city say that due to the earthquake, the buildings were shaking like a baby rocking in its cradle. Erdem, a resident, said that he had never felt like this before in his 40 years of life. He said that this happened at least 3 times when the buildings shook badly.
