3.5 An Earthquake Hits Turkey and Syria

More than 40 000 deaths, and 100 000 injured - the earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria this month is a humanitarian catastrophe. In its aftermath, there lays not only destruction, but legacies of war, corruption, and crises-within-crises. In this special episode, Tallinn University Podcast team member Jana Levitina speaks with TLU Politics and Governance student Selim Rahim, who is from Turkey, about how poor governance in the region magnifies the effects of natural disaster.
