A pair of brutal earthquakes rocked Turkey and Syria today killing at least 2,600 people with the death toll expected to increase dramatically. Foreign Secretary James Cleverly says there are no reports of any British fatalities and that UK aid workers are on their way to the region to help rescue efforts.
The combined death toll rose to more than 2,700 for Turkey and Syria on Monday after the region’s strongest earthquake in nearly a century, AFP reports.
Turkey’s emergencies service said at least 1,762 people had died in the 7.8-magnitude quake, with another 1,000 confirmed fatalities in neighbouring Syria, putting the total at 2,762.
