Rescuers in Haiti used heavy equipment and their bare hands Monday to hunt for survivors under buildings flattened two days ago by a massive earthquake that killed more than 1,400 people, while an approaching storm threatened more suffering. FRANCE 24's Amélie Baron reports.
Injured earthquake victims continued to stream into Les Cayes’ overwhelmed general hospital, three days after the earthquake struck.
Speaking in the southern city of Gaziantep, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says "the number of our citizens who lost their lives in the devastation caused by the earthquake has reached 14,014 in total". Search and rescue operations are ongoing across the affected region as the combined death toll in Turkey and neighbouring Syria hits 17,100.
At a press conference in Kahramanmaras, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says the number of deaths in Turkey has risen to 8,574, in the aftermath of the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria.
A powerful earthquake struck a remote border region of Afghanistan overnight killing at least 1,000 people and injuring hundreds more, officials said Wednesday, with the toll expected to rise as desperate rescuers dig through collapsed dwellings.
