The death toll from last week’s massive earthquakes in Turkey and Syria has topped 41,000, as the United Nations warned nearly 900,000 quake survivors are in urgent need of hot food. More than 5 million people in Syria may have been left homeless by the disaster. 

Ankara, February 14 (RHC)-- The death toll from last week’s massive earthquakes in Turkey and Syria has topped 41,000, as the United Nations warned nearly 900,000 quake survivors are in urgent need of hot food. More than 5 million people in Syria may have been left homeless by the disaster. 

This comes as rescue crews held out hope of finding a few more survivors trapped beneath collapsed buildings.  On Monday, a 13-year-old boy in Hatay, Turkey, was pulled from the rubble after 182 hours. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said more than 8,000 people had been saved in similar operations.
