World Bank: Quake caused damage worth $5.1 billion in Syria

Associated Press  

BEIRUT — The World Bank said Friday that Syria sustained an estimated $5.1 billion in damages in last month’s massive earthquake that struck southeast Turkey and northern parts of the war-torn country. In a report released Friday, the World Bank says the level of the damage in Syria is about 10% of the country’s gross domestic product. The earthquake has also compounded myriad other troubles in Syria, where the nearly 12-year civil war has killed nearly half a million people and displaced half the country’s pre-war population of 23 million. In an earlier assessment report, the World Bank said on Monday that the damages in Turkey from last month’s earthquake are estimated at $34.2 billion.
