At least 1400 people have been killed after a major earthquake struck the nations of Turkey and Syria during the early hours of Monday morning.

According to reports from local media outlets, the magnitude of the mega disaster was outlined to be 7.8. Moreover, the intensity of the natural calamity was so huge that tremors could be felt in other neighboring countries as well.

Sources from local media outlets claim hundreds were crushed in their sleep as tall buildings were witnessed coming crashing down to the ground.

Thousands were left injured as the rescue and recovery efforts in both these affected nations began. The devastating effect of the deadly incident resulted in entire neighborhoods falling flat and down to the ground.

Other reports from local media outlets shed light on how the tremors comprised the greatest intensity and were felt as far as the island of Cyprus, Lebanon, and Egypt too.

Moreover, sources have also spoken in detail about how the quake could potentially be the biggest in the nation’s history.

The news comes as a Tsunami warning was sent out on the coast of Italy, just minutes after the deadly earthquake struck.

Residents could be seen jolted awake as they tried to flee from their residences in absolute terror and among the cold.

On the other hand, more concerns are now growing for those trapped under the rubble as rescue workers fled into action to try and take out as many survivors as possible who were stuck under the massive amount of debris scattered across the board.

Heartbreaking images featured children being carried away by paramedics as more helplessly await assistance and a possible shot of survival as day one of the terror comes to an end.
