KAHRAMANMARAS: The toll from last week's earthquake in Türkiye and Syria rose above 35,000 on Monday , as rescue teams started to wind down the search for survivors and the aid effort shifted to hundreds of thousands of people made homeless.
The United Nations has decried the failure to ship desperately needed aid to war-torn regions of Syria and warned that the toll is set to rise even higher as experts caution that hopes for finding people alive dim with each passing day. The city was patrolled by a strong police and military presence which authorities deployed to prevent looting following several incidents over the weekend.
A convoy with supplies for northwest Syria arrived via Türkiye, but the UN's relief chief Martin Griffiths said more was needed for millions whose homes were destroyed.
