Over 11,000 dead
The death toll from the earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on Monday rose to over 11,200 dead, according to the latest official figures announced today at noon on Wednesday.

The number of dead in Turkey has reached 8,574, as announced by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, while in Syria 2,662 dead have been recovered from the rubble.
