A 7.8 magnitude earthquake killed over 1,500 people in Turkey and Syria, with hundreds still believed to be trapped under rubble. The quake and a second 7.5 earthquake hit areas where hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees live. Rain and cold are hampering rescue efforts.

It may seem like there have been a lot of earthquakes lately, but on average there's a M6-6.9 earthquake somewhere on Earth roughly ever 2-3 days, and several M5-5.9 quakes per day. We mostly only notice quakes like this when they happen to hit near population centers.
