In Turkey, at least 2,921 people were killed and more than 15,800 others injured, according to Turkey’s head of disaster services, Yunus Sezer.

While there are fears that the death toll will continue to rise at this pace, especially since the World Health Organization estimates that nearly 20,000 people have been killed

In Syria at least 1,451 people have died. According to the Syrian state news agency SANA, 711 people have died across government-controlled areas, mostly in the regions of Aleppo, Hama, Latakia, and Tartus.
