In Türkiye alone, at least 22,327 people were killed and more than 80,000 others injured by the two strong quakes that jolted the region last Monday, according to new figures released on Saturday morning. Another 3,553 are known to have died and 5,276 injured in neighbouring Syria, where international aid has been slow to trickle in.
