The blazes on the island are now the country’s worst in terms of casualties for over a century, while authorities have warned that the effort to find and identify the dead is still in its early stages, as crews with cadaver dogs have covered just 3 per cent of the search area.
Don’t get me wrong, but this year’s 30k dead after earthquake that happened in Turkey was a massacre.
In around '90 they had a lighter earthquake (15k died?), and the country started a tax/found for a special cases like this - in 2023 when people asked where’s the money, and the government said it’s not a good time for this unemphatic type of questions.
Edit. I googled now, and it says 56k people died both in Turkey and Syria. Crazy
It’s not a competition.
The oppression and tragedy Olympics is probably the most tasteless thing you can fight about on the internet.

Because the media is creating it to be a cataclysm. Who cares…
It’s the deadliest wildfire in US history. It is no less tragic or newsworthy because other disasters have killed more.
There being bigger tragedies doesn’t lessen others. Especially not to the people involved.
That earthquake is nothing compared to world war 2 but that doesn’t really mean anything does it.
Ah there’s the whataboutisms. 🥇Here take your prize for being the most empathic person ever because you thought of something worse, congratulations!
