At least 780 people were killed and 2,280 injured as a result of the violent earthquake that struck Syria on Monday, centered on Turkey, causing buildings to collapse in several governorates on the heads of their residents, while hundreds of families are still under the rubble.

The Syrian Ministry of Health, in addition to the rescue crews, said that the outcome is still not final.

The official Syrian News Agency quoted the Ministry of Health as saying that the death toll rose to 830, and 1,284 others were injured, in an unconfirmed toll.

In Turkey, Yunus Sezer, head of the Disaster and Emergency Management Department in Turkey, announced that the death toll from a strong earthquake that struck the south of the country rose to 1014, while the earthquake caused the destruction of 2824 buildings.

Before that, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the death toll had reached 912, in an indefinite toll, indicating that at least 5,385 were wounded. Erdogan pointed to the collapse of 2,818 buildings, which raises fears of a high death toll, at a time when hundreds of people were killed in neighboring Syria.
