The death toll in the Turkey-Syria earthquake has risen to more than 4 300 with over 5 300 building flattened. There are fears that toll will rise inexorably, with World Health Organization officials estimating up to 20 000 may have died. The initial earthquake was so large it was felt as far away as Greenland, and the impact is big enough to have sparked a global response. More than 14 000 people have so far been reported injured in Turkey, the disaster management agency said, while Syria said at least 3,411 people were injured. A winter blizzard has covered major roads into the area in ice and snow, hampering relief efforts.
