Turkey, Syria Quake Death Toll Tops 17,000

"The latest death toll figures in the region topped 17,000 on Thursday.  Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan said 14,014 people were killed and more than 67,000 injured. In Syria, 3,577 died, and more than 6,300 were injured.  For 100,000-plus rescue personnel, the task is monumental, as there are thousands of collapsed buildings to search. Blocked roads and other logistical challenges have made it challenging for first responders. They're also racing against time as a person's survival probability drops due to a lack of food and water.
