Rescue teams from around the world have been dispatched to the region of Turkey and Syria after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the area on Monday, killing over 21,000 people and injuring nearly 75,000. The Turkish government has declared a three-day period of national mourning and has distributed millions of hot meals, tents, and blankets to those in need. The United Nations has also sent aid and personnel to help with the recovery effort.
