Charlie Hebdo sparks outrage with cartoon trivialising Turkey earthquake| Explainer | Oneindia News
The earthquake in Turkiye and Syria that caused widespread destruction has left much of the world aghast.
The cumulative death toll has crossed over 16000 in both nations.
But in this tragedy too, there are people and organisations that are making light of this monumental loss.
The French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has come under fire for publishing a cartoon which mocked the devastating earthquakes that occured this past Monday.
Shared as the "drawing of the day" on its Twitter account, the cartoon by an artist showed a damaged building, a toppled car and a heap of rubble with the caption: "Earthquake in Turkiye…No need to send tanks..!" The publication of these cartoons elicited strong reactions on social media, with many people, including public figures, condemning the magazine’s actions.
This French satirical magazine is not a stranger to controversy…especially with regard to Islam.
Infact, Charlie Hebdo has earned notoriety for its ‘offensive’ cartoons.
In this video, we take a quick look at earlier run-ins of Charlie Hebdo and the previous controversies it had generated.

In a significant escalation of tensions, Iran carried out its first-ever direct attack on Israel, unleashing over 300 explosive drones and missiles on Saturday (April 13). Termed as "Operation Truthful Promise" by Iran, the strikes were reportedly in retaliation to an Israeli attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria earlier in the month. This aggressive move has intensified hostilities between the two nations and raised concerns about further destabilisation in the region.

The international community has expressed deep concern following Iran's unprecedented direct attack on Israeli territory, involving explosive drones and missile strikes. Tehran's aggression comes after an April 1 air raid, widely attributed to Israel, which resulted in the destruction of Iran's consulate in Syria and claimed the lives of 12 individuals, including two high-ranking Iranian generals. Israeli forces reported intercepting the "vast majority" of missiles launched from Iran before they reached Israeli borders, highlighting the intensity of the confrontation. Tensions between Israel and Iran have surged since the conclusion of Israel's six-month conflict in the Gaza Strip.
