Diyarbakir witnessed a catastrophic event on February 6, 2023, as the eight-story Sözel Apartment Building in the office district was brought down by an earthquake. The building, located on Kurt Smail Paşa Street in Yenişehir, Turkey, was home to many people at the time of the disaster.

Credit to @bilalguldem, we have footage of the devastating event. The video shows the intense moment when the building crumbled to the ground, leaving behind only a cloud of dust and rubble.

The earthquake struck suddenly and without warning, causing widespread panic and chaos in the surrounding area. First responders rushed to the scene to look for survivors and help those who were hurt.

It is unclear at this time how many people were inside the building when the earthquake hit and what their current conditions are. Authorities are working to assess the situation and provide support to those affected.

This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as they become available. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Diyarbakir during this difficult time.
