The damage is untold, with dozens of buildings collapsed, including many high-rise residential blocks. The current death toll has now risen to over 5000 with the injured numbering well into the tens of thousands. Nearly 6000 buildings have been destroyed in Turkey alone.
Christian Atsu has been found, injured but alive. He’s been taken to hospital and admitted with injuries to his right foot.
He’s also reportedly having breathing difficulties.
Meanwhile, Hatayspor sporting director Taner Savut is still under the rubble.
Christian Atsu joined Hatayspor last summer and he scored a last-minute winning goal for them in a 1-0 win over Kasımpaşa few hours before the earthquake.
Atsu is among several members of the club missing at this time.
