Former Chelsea footballer Christian Atsu is reportedly among those who are currently stuck under rubble in Turkey. Turkey and Syria suffered three major earthquake shocks on Monday which were over 7 on richter scale. Christian Atsu joined Turkish Super Lig club Hataysport in 2021 after featuring Chelsea, Newcastle United and Everton.
Reports say his team’s goalkeeper Ahmet Eyup is also trapped under the rubble, according to reports.
More than 1,300 people died in the first earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale early Monday morning. Hours later two more major quakes struck the country with a magnitude of 7.5 and 6. The death toll is expected to rise.
As rescue crews combed through mountains of debris in towns and cities all around the region, it was still thought that hundreds of people were still buried beneath the rubble.
Through piles of metal and concrete, rescuers and locals in many cities looked for survivors. Patients, including infants, were evacuated from facilities in Syria after a hospital in Turkey collapsed.
