11,000 dead as Turkey, Syria earthquake search continues The death toll has surpassed 11,200 people and could yet increase dramatically if the worst fears of experts are realised. Rescuers raced to pull survivors from earthquake rubble as the death toll surpassed 9,000 in southern Turkey and war-ravaged northern Syria on Wednesday. Officials and medics said 8,574 people have died in Turkey and 2,662 in Syria, bringing the total to 11,236. But that could still increase dramatically if the worst fears of experts are realised.
