UPDATE: A Syrian health official says the death toll in Syria from Turkey’s earthquake is now at 62 as the death in Turkey rose to 38.
“We hope that we will get through this disaster together as soon as possible and with the least damage,” he wrote.
“Our priority is to bring out people trapped under ruined buildings and to transfer them to hospitals,” he said. The death toll in government-held areas of Syria from Monday’s quake climbed to 99, according to Syrian state media citing the Health Ministry. In addition, at least 334 people were injured in Syria. Earlier, 20 people were reported killed in rebel-held areas of the war-torn country.
In northwest Syria, the opposition’s Syrian Civil Defense described the situation in the rebel-held region as “disastrous” adding that entire buildings have collapsed and people are trapped under the rubble. The civil defense urged people to evacuate buildings to gather in open areas. Emergency rooms were full of injured, said Amjad Rass, president of the Syrian American Medical Society.
