	* In the M6.4 earthquake, those with heavy damage collapsed, those with moderate damage turned into heavily damaged, lightly damaged ones turned into medium damaged, undamaged ones turned into little or moderately damaged. All structures, including those with minor damage, should be demolished for safety. Otherwise there will be slaughter.

	*Earthquakes up to M5 in Elazığ-Palu in the north of the EAC and in Bingöl show that the Palu-Bingöl area is getting tense with our attention turned to Hatay.

	*Both M6.4 and M5.8 earthquakes in Hatay occurred on the Dead Sea rupture. Eastern Anatolia and the Dead Sea fractures were enraged. Everyone should sleep in container houses, in their carriages, in tents. Such aftershocks will unfortunately continue to occur.

	*The situation in Hatay is not tolerable. Please do not leave your city. Take shelter in safe shelters."
