While #Turkey is very a seismically active area and strong earthquakes frequently take place, this is NOT the case for #Syria. The February 6 Earthquake only further highlights the Syrian people's unluckiness.

A thread on earthquakes in Syria according to official data.
I went through the 7,200+ earthquakes recorded by Syria's National Center for Earthquakes (NCE) between 1995 and 2021 and here is what I found:

1. Since 1995, no earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 and over was recorded on Syrian territory. Turkey witnessed 18.
In fact, the last event of an equivalent intensity to have struck #Syria was the 1202 #Damascus earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.4 to 7.6. It resulted in an estimated 30,000 deaths. Taking into account the margin of error, the two events can be considered of equivalent strength.

Since #Syria is back into the international spotlight and that misinformation regarding sanctions and humanitarian aid is back on the menu, it’s time to provide a few facts in order to clear things up.

1. Sanctions do not prevent humanitarian aid from entering Syria.
This one is a give but you can still check this handy @eu_echo guide regarding humanitarian exemptions and/or read about the US implementing further exemptions in Dec 22.

2. Then, even though current needs are still far from being covered, the international community provided USD 17 billion to Syria through UN programmes (some of which the regime deliberately diverted). The regime’s main allies provided nearly none of it.
