During a session of the United Nations Security Council in New York on April 5, seismic activity interrupted discussions concerning the dire circumstances in Gaza, where women and innocent children are enduring the repercussions of Israeli aggression.
As the plight of Gaza was being addressed, earthquake tremors rattled the meeting, momentarily halting the speaker. One participant remarked, “your words shook the earth.” Notably, on April 5 at 10:23 AM, tremors were felt in various cities, including New Jersey and New York. The 4.8-magnitude earthquake prompted residents to take to social media to share their experiences and concerns. The U.S. Geological Survey has warned of a 46 percent likelihood of another earthquake measuring 3.0 or higher in magnitude within the next week.
