ISTANBUL (SONNA) \u2014 The death toll in Turkey and Syria rose to eight in a new and powerful earthquake that struck two weeks after a devastating temblor killed nearly 45,000 people, authorities and media said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

A 6.4 magnitude tremor struck near the city of Antakya near the border with Syria, where massive quakes devastated both countries on 6 February.<\/p>\n

Turkey\u2019s disaster management authority said six people were killed and 294 others were injured with 18 in critical condition after Monday\u2019s 6.4-magnitude quake. In Syria, a woman and a girl died as a result of panic during the earthquake in the provinces of Hama and Tartus, pro-government media outlets said.<\/p>\n

The earthquake\u2019s epicenter was in the town of Defne, in Turkey\u2019s Hatay province, which borders Syria. It was also felt in Jordan, Cyprus, Israel, Lebanon and as far away as Egypt, and followed by a second, magnitude 5.8 temblor, and dozens of aftershocks.<\/p>\n

Hatay was one of the worst-hit provinces in Turkey in the magnitude 7.8 quake that struck on Feb. 6. Thousands of buildings were destroyed in the province and Monday\u2019s quake further damaged buildings. The governor\u2019s office in Antakya, Hatay\u2019s historic heart, was also damaged.<\/p>\n

\n

Officials have warned quake victims to not go into the remains of their homes, but people have done so to retrieve what they can. They were caught up in the new quake.<\/p>\n
