The confirmed death toll from the earthquake that rocked Turkey and Syria continues to rise, reaching more than 19,300 Thursday, surpassing the toll from Japan’s Fukushima disaster in March 2011. The magnitude 9.0 earthquake triggered a tsunami, killing more than 18,400 people. The U.N. said its first cross-border aid convoy arrived in northwest Syria on Thursday. Six trucks of “shelter items and non-food item kits, including blankets and hygiene kits” reached Bab al-Hawa on Thursday, the only border crossing authorized by the U.N. Security Council for aid delivery. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the death toll had risen to more than 16,170 in his country, and more than 63,000 are injured. In Syria, including government-held and rebel-held areas, more than 3,100 have been reported dead and more than 5,000 are injured. Visit the link in @usatoday’s bio for more updates.
