Earthquake death toll in Turkey, Syria passes 19,000


The disaster after the earthquake: How conditions in Turkey can cost more lives


Even after the wounded are treated and the trapped are freed from the rubble, the disaster of the earthquakes in Turkey may continue due to less immediate dangers.
The aftershocks of the earthquake could also manifest in a lack of water and sanitation, as well as frigid temperatures.

The earthquake has damaged much of the utilities infrastructure in Kahramanmaras, including plumbing. Some areas have tap water, but they’re scared to drink it because of the prevalence of dead bodies that could be contaminating the groundwater.
