The number of casualties is expected to continue to increase in the near future.

It was one of the strongest earthquake disasters to hit the region in nearly a century, destroying thousands of houses and causing catastrophic damage.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has been making efforts to assist those affected by earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. However, due to the large scale of the disaster, support from the international and domestic community is still needed.

The Vietnamese Government also has sent two special teams to carry out rescue work in the earthquake-hit area.
