It is heartbreaking to hear that the eastern Elazig province of Turkey was rattled by 6.8-magnitude earthquake early today.

HALUAN expresses deepest condolences to the families of the victims, and sincerely hopes for speedy recovery of the injured.

Our hearts go out to everyone who was injured or who has lost a loved one, and all those affected by the disaster.

We ask Allah to heal the victims and grant them patience during these hard times.
