A powerful 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Rhodes, Greece, early Tuesday morning, causing widespread panic and injuries. The quake, centered about 29 km north of Rhodes at a depth of 68 km, was felt strongly across the Greek islands and western Turkey. Reports indicate that a 14-year-old girl, Afra Nur Günlü, died in Turkey after experiencing a panic attack triggered by intense fear during the quake, despite receiving hospital treatment. Seventy-nine people were injured, many while jumping from buildings or balconies in the Turkish resort of Marmaris and other affected areas. Tourists described the shaking as feeling like 'bombs landing' and hotels rocked like a baby's cradle. The earthquake’s depth suggests minimal surface effects, with no tsunami expected, according to experts. Aftershocks continued in the region, and unconfirmed reports of a smaller quake occurred later in the evening. The region has experienced previous seismic activity, including a recent quake near Crete. The incident highlights the psychological impact of natural disasters, especially on vulnerable populations like children. Disaster management teams are assessing damage, and authorities continue to monitor the situation.
