The number of deaths from earthquakes The number registered since early Monday morning in Turkey and Syria has already risen to 28,192, and the number of injured in both countries exceeds 85,000, sources on both sides of their shared border say.

record numbers

in the territory TurkeyAuthorities have so far recorded 24,617 deaths and more than 80,000 injured, making this week’s earthquakes in the country’s southeast the most devastating since 1939, according to the latest balance sheet proposed by Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay.

The death toll already far exceeds that of the 1999 earthquakes near Istanbul, which killed about 18,000 people.

IN SyriaSunday’s death toll stands at 3,575 and about 5,300 injured, reported mostly in opposition areas in the northwest of the Arab country, where a White Helmets rescue team completed their search for survivors yesterday.

According to this organization, 2,167 people were killed and 2,950 were injured in the rebel areas of the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo, to which were added another 1,408 dead and 2,341 injured in areas held by the government of Bashar al-Assad.

Both the White Helmets, which since yesterday have only been searching for bodies in opposition strongholds, and the official Syrian news agency SANA have been reporting slight deviations in the counts in their respective regions for two days.

However, there has not been a significant increase recently, which could be due to the lack of resources available to rescue teams, aggravated by a general lack of fuel in Syriaa necessary product not only for transportation, but also for the operation of garbage trucks.
