Meanwhile, the total death toll in Syria rose to at least 3,192, including 1,930 in rebel-held areas in the northwest, according to the White Helmets civil defense group, and 1,262 deaths in government-held parts of Syria, according to state media. Syrian.

At least 71,290 people have been injured in Syria and Turkey, according to figures from the Turkish government, the White Helmets and Syrian state media.

Rescue teams from around the world, including Albania and Kosovo, continue to work to find and rescue people who may have been left alive under the rubble.

All local and international agencies that are working on the ground and monitoring the situation report that the numbers will increase even more.

Rescue operations are more difficult in Syria, which has been destabilized for years. In the Syrian town of Zhindirs, 60 kilometers north of Aleppo, rescue operations have not yet started.

Residents of affected areas in both countries are facing severe shortages of vital supplies.

The destruction of the roads has made it extremely difficult to deliver food aid. Entire residential areas in the south of Turkey have turned into ghost towns. The United Nations, which warns that the freezing cold and the lack of food and fuel for rescue operations, are burdening the balance of victims even more than the natural disaster itself.
