More than 21,000 people confirmed dead after Turkey-Syria earthquakes – BBC News


More than 21,000 people are now known to have died in Monday’s earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, which Turkey’s president has called "the disaster of the century".

A major international relief effort is gathering pace.

On Thursday, the World Bank pledged $1.78bn (£1.38bn) in aid to Turkey including immediate finance for rebuilding basic infrastructure and to support those affected by the earthquakes.

Meanwhile, the efforts of 100,000 or more rescue personnel on the ground are being hampered by logistical hurdles including vehicle shortages and devastated roads.
