The Lancet February 18, 2023 “Such things have always happened. It’s part of destiny’s plan.” The reaction of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Türkiye’s President, to the devastating earthquakes that struck Türkiye and Syria on Feb 6, betrays a dangerous sense of fatalism, if not an active effort to deflect responsibility. As of Feb 14, the earthquakes have caused more than 35 000 deaths, and injured many more. As the chances of finding survivors under the rubble diminish, a second catastrophe is looming. The widespread destruction of buildings and infrastructure has left more than a million people homeless in Türkiye and displaced 5 million in Syria. These people need urgent shelter from freezing temperatures, food, clean water, and medical care. Earthquakes are natural disasters. They cannot be prevented and some harm is inevitable. But the human cost can be mitigated by effective preparation, response, relief, and rebuilding—if those in positions of responsibility are willing to do so. The earthquake brought back memories of earlier disasters. “It’s impossible to get used to earthquakes”, Ezer said. “Nothing will be the same after this”, he added. “If natural disasters aren’t properly managed, they turn into artificial disasters. We could have saved so many more people. I noticed this week that we were experiencing the same problems we faced during the 2011 Van-Erciş quake. We’ve not been prepared for this at all.” Link to the article: Responding to the Türkiye–Syria earthquake: what will it take? 37 Article continued on next page >>

During times of confusion, tribulation, grief,<br />

uncertainty, and despair, the arts enliven<br />

us by reintegrating the disjointed pieces of<br />

ourselves and replenishing them with clarity<br />

and hope. The arts remind us of our individual<br />

and collective potential to grow, evolve, and<br />

transform. They remind us of what and who we<br />

can be and what we can create. In this new<br />

Memories by Mac Davis<br />

Pressed between the pages of my mind<br />

Memories<br />

Sweetened thru the ages just like wine<br />

Quiet thoughts come floating down<br />

And settle softly to the ground<br />

Like golden autumn leaves around my feet<br />

I touched them and they burst apart with<br />

Sweet memories<br />

Sweet memories<br />

Of holding hands and red bouquets<br />

And twilight trimmed in purple haze<br />

And laughing eyes and simple ways<br />

And quiet nights and gentle days with you<br />
