On its part, the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority announced, on Monday, that the earthquake victims had risen to 1,498 dead, 8,533 injured, and 2,834 buildings collapsed.

The Turkish capital, Ankara, witnessed a number of earthquakes that were felt by the residents and led to material losses in lives and buildings.
