Turkey earthquake | Death toll may increase eight-fold, says WHO

The Hindu  

The death toll from Monday's major earthquake in Turkey and Syria is liable to rise significantly above the provisional tally of more than 2,600, the World Health Organization forecast. "There's continued potential of further collapses to happen so we do often see in the order of eight-fold increases on the initial numbers," the WHO's senior emergency officer for Europe, Catherine Smallwood, told AFP. Since the 7.8 magnitude quake struck at 04:17 a.m. on Monday at a depth of about 18 kilometres near the Turkish city of Gaziantep, some 60 kilometres from the Syrian border, the toll has swiftly risen, nearing 2,700 by the evening as rescuers battled to locate survivors trapped under the rubble of thousands of collapsed buildings. Turkey is situated in one of the world's most active seismic zones, with Monday's tremor occurring along the East Anatolian fault — across country from a North Anatolian fault line quake which killed more than 17,000 people in 1999.
