Intro

Communities in northern Syria and southeastern Turkey are struggling in the aftermath of Monday's devastating earthquake and its powerful aftershocks.

NPR's Ruth Sherlock reports on ongoing rescue efforts in the region.

And we speak with Gönül Tol, director of the Turkey program at the Middle East Institute, who is in Hatay province in Turkey. She raises questions about the Turkish government's response to the tragedy.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
