Thousands of people gathered on Tuesday in Turkey's Hatay region, at 04:17 AM, the exact same hour a devastating earthquake hit the country a year ago, killing more than 53,500 people. Demonstrators chanted "we won't forgive, we won't forget", lit candles and scuffled with police when the latter tried to block a road. Hatay is the worst hit region from a total of 11 affected by last year's earthquake in Turkey. IMAGES

Bangkok, Apr 10 (EFE/EPA).- Bangkok is gearing up to open a field hospital amid a rapid rise in Covid-19 infections that could overwhelm medical facilities. A Field Hospital has already been set up for Covid-19 patients with the capacity of at least 200 beds for those who display mild symptoms of the infectious disease. A new COVID-19 wave linked to several entertainment venues in Bangkok is identified as a highly contagious British variant strain of the virus that caused hundreds of people to test positive across the country.
