Episode 183: Twin Quakes in Syria and Turkey Highlight Relief Challenges

Today, Les, Jess, and Jamil discuss the recent devastating earthquakes in southern Turkey and northwestern Syria. The death toll continues to mount, with estimates now exceeding 44,000, along with hundreds of thousands facing displacement.

Hear our experts debate these issues and more in less than 10 minutes on our latest episode of Fault Lines!
