Meanwhile, the death toll from the devastating earthquakes climbed to 17,134 in Turkey, with 71,806 injuries as of Thursday, according to Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD). Rescue teams continued to spare no effort to search for more survivors trapped under the rubble of collapsed buildings.

The number of casualties is expected to increase further once the search efforts are over across a wide area of 10 provinces. Experts warned that the chances of saving lives have dropped sharply after 72 hours of the quakes that hit the country on Monday.
