A fresh earthquake in southern Turkey dominated the conversation on the airwaves last night

Yesterday’s earthquake in southern Turkey dominated the airwaves last night, with the pair of fresh tremors hitting Hatay again getting everyone talking. Kelma Akhira’s Lamees El Hadidi focused on the impact on the ground and panic caused by the quakes, which were felt in Egypt, Lebanon and Palestine (watch, runtime: 6:28). Masa’a DMC (watch, runtime: 3:24) and Ala Masouleety (watch, runtime: 4:39) also had coverage.

An Egyptian navy ship carrying “hundreds of tons” of relief aid to Syria was featured on from Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 4:31), Masa’a DMC (watch, runtime: 3:41), and Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 3:36). Al Hayah Al Youm also took note of 200 tons of relief aid sent separately to the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) from the Egyptian Red Crescent (watch, runtime: 6:25).

Changes to the government’s expat car import scheme received heavy coverage on the airwaves last night: Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 7:25, Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 6:08) and Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 6:24). We have more on this in this morning’s news well, above.
