Locals flocked to open spaces away from potential falling debris after new earthquakes hit the devastated Aleppo area on Monday.

Footage features families with children sitting on the ground in open spaces next to the roads in order to avoid the danger of high-rise buildings collapsing.

Just two weeks after the Turkey-Syria deadly earthquakes, another magnitude 6.4 earthquake hit both countries again and reportedly left three people dead and over 200 injured, according to Turkey's Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu.

The quake was reportedly felt in the provincial capital Antakya as well as Adana province. According to the Turkish disaster management agency, a magnitude 5.8 quake came only three minutes later. Syrian local state news agency, SANA, also reported that six people were injured in Aleppo by falling debris.

At the time of publication, the combined death toll of the earthquakes of February 6 had surpassed 46,000.
