A new (still provisional) assessment of the number of victims reports more than 6,200 dead and 25,000 injured in Turkey and Syria while research to find possible survivors continue, despite the cold which complicates the situation.
The terrible human assessment of earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria continues to increase on Tuesday, February 7. The AFAD, an official Turkish rescue organization, now reports on 4,544 dead while 1712 dead are identified in Syria, according to the regime and the emergency services in the area held by the rebels, a total assessment of 6,256 dead.
At a time when research is intensifying to find possible survivors under the rubble, the cold comes to complicate the rescue operations. Be that there are more than 8000 people have been extracted from the rubble in Türkiye, but thousands of people remain trapped under the destroyed buildings of the disaster areas.
Indeed, many buildings collapsed because of tremors, in Türkiye as in Syria. In Türkiye, the authorities have counted nearly 5,000 buildings destroyed, AFP reported.
