Only white lives matter to Mr Guterres

UN chief Antonio Guterres is nowhere to be seen in Turkey or Syria.

For five days the world been seeing apocalyptic scenes of disaster, devastation and death in southern Turkiye and northern Syria. It is reported that over 22,000 people have died and some 75,000 people are injured. The magnitude of the earthquake has destroyed thousands of buildings. So millions are without homes. It is the seventh worst disaster of this century. Aljazeera channel has been extensively covering the cities hit by a monster earthquake. The Indian media has done extensive coverage of the desolate scenes at Hatay and Noordagiin Turkiye. They have informed Indian audiences of the unimaginable catastrophe caused by the earthquake. Both cities have been reduced to dust. One sees terrifying scenes of collapsed buildings, mountains of rubble and the stunned people who are experiencing tragedies of numerous kinds. Millions are without food, water, shelter and fuel in sub-zero temperatures. Gaziantep and Adana in Turkey are particularly affected. We see survivors standing in despair amidst mountains of rubble. Rescue workers were removing rubble with bare hands as they searched for survivors. Lack of equipment and machinery, the paralysing cold and snowfall have hampered rescue operations.
