Earthquake/ The balance is getting worse, over 600 victims and over 3000

The death toll in Turkey and Syria has risen after the 7.9-magnitude earthquake struck a wide area in southeastern Turkey near the border with Syria, killing more than 600 people and stranding many more.

The fatal tremors lasted about 45 seconds and were felt as far away as Cyprus, Egypt and Lebanon.

The US Geological Survey said the 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck at 4:17 a.m. local time at a depth of 17.9 km (11 miles) near the city of Gaziantep.

At least 284 people have died and more than 2,300 have been injured in Turkey. In Syria, at least 237 people were killed and 639 wounded, Syrian state news agency SANA reported, citing a Health Ministry official.

There are fears that the death toll will rise significantly in the coming hours. Many buildings have collapsed and rescue teams have been deployed to search for survivors under huge piles of rubble.

Turkish Interior Minister Suleymon Soylu said 10 cities were affected: Gaziantep, Kahramanmaras, Hatay, Osmaniye, Adiyaman, Malatya, Sanliurfa, Adana, Dijarbakir and Kilis.
