Really tragic images come from Izmir and the surrounding areas in Turkey, after being hit by a magnitude 7 earthquake, according to Turkish media.
A video posted on social media shows a palace collapsing completely as people run away terrified.
Another video shows the strong shaking that apparently lasted for more than 35 seconds after a teenager who was playing on the computer left the room.
Other images show entire buildings under the rubble, while the streets of Izmir appear to be filled with water.
We remind that the Aegean area is tectonically active where earthquakes constantly occur.
