In government-controlled parts of Syria, at least 812 people were killed and 1,449 injured, according to state media. And civil-defense workers in the rebel-held northwest reported more than 1,220 deaths and 2,600 injuries.Monday’s earthquake was followed by dozens of aftershocks, including an unusually powerful 7.5-magnitude quake. Erdogan announced a state of emergency in 10 provinces affected by the disaster.People in northwest Syria were already in need of humanitarian aid, the United Nations said. Many of the more than 3 million Syrian refugees in Turkey live in areas devastated by the quake.
