A humanitarian disaster is unfolding in Turkey almost two weeks after two lethal earthquakes rocked the nation and left a path of destruction. The loss of life toll is already staggering, whereas the determined hunt for extra survivors continues in freezing temperatures. 1000's of buildings have collapsed and thousands and thousands of individuals have been displaced. Regardless of receiving humanitarian help from international locations across the globe, Turkey faces huge restoration challenges forward.
