US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday announced $100 million in disaster relief aid for Turkey and Syria as the countries grapple with the aftermath of a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake that has killed at least 46,000 people.The top US diplomat, who took a helicopter tour Sunday of some of the hardest-hit areas alongside Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, later told reporters at Incirlik Air Base that it was really hard to put into words the devastation he saw during the tour but said, We are here to stand with the people of Turkey and Syria.
