The death toll from a catastrophic earthquake in Turkey and Syria rose to more than 15,000 as more bodies were pulled from the wreckage of collapsed houses in the affected area, Turkey’s disaster management agency said on Thursday.

Turkey has confirmed 12,391 deaths after the early Monday morning quake and a series of aftershocks brought down thousands of buildings in southeastern Turkey, the agency said.

A further 2,902 people were reported killed on the other side of the Syrian border.

Rescuers continued to pull the living out of damaged buildings, but for three days since the quake, cold temperatures had dampened hopes.
