Freezing weather conditions and snowfall in the devastated region
have increased the difficulties for rescue workers.
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has declared seven days of
national mourning, and Syria has appealed to the United Nations for
help following devastating earthquakes that killed more than 5,000
people and toppled buildings across southeast Turkey and northern Syria.
Authorities fear the death toll from Monday’s predawn
magnitude 7.8 temblor, followed by a magnitude 7.6 earthquake
and several aftershocks will continue to climb as rescuers
looked for survivors among tangles of metal and concrete spread
across a region already suffering under Syria’s 12-year civil war and a refugee crisis.
Rescuers searched through the frigid night into Tuesday morning, hoping to
dig more survivors out of the rubble as those trapped cried out for help from
beneath mountains of debris.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday
that the death toll from the earthquakes in Turkey had risen to 3,549.
Orhan Tatar, an official with Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency
Management Authority (AFAD), said earlier on Tuesday that 20,426
others were injured. Tatar said more than 5,700 buildings had also been destroyed.
In Syria, at least 1,602 people were killed and about 3,500 others
were injured, according to the Ministry of Health
and the White Helmets rescue organisation.
