The number of people killed as a result of powerful earthquakes on February 6 in Turkey and Syria exceeded 41 thousand people. Debris analysis is still ongoing.
This is reported by Al Jazeera.
The Turkish authorities reported the death of 35,418 people. In addition, the Syrian government and UN institutions claim the death of more than 5,800 people in Syria.
The World Health Organization called earthquakes the worst natural disaster of the century.
We will remind you that the day before, Ukrainian rescuers of the State Emergency Service rescued a woman who spent 9 days under the rubble of a house. Meyade Muhammed was trapped in concrete in her own apartment when the building collapsed during a natural disaster.
It is known that the natural disaster took the lives of five Ukrainians. In particular, a family from Zaporizhzhya died. 46-year-old Yuliya Petrova and her two sons - 10-year-old Zakhar and 5-year-old Matvyi - were found under the rubble.
Since the start of the search, 10 Ukrainians have been rescued from the rubble. Another seven are still missing. More than 8,000 victims were rescued during the search operations in Turkey.
