Hope Fades As Turkey Ends Earthquake Rescue Efforts In Most Provinces

Turkey has ended rescue efforts in all but two provinces, almost two weeks after a massive earthquake killed tens of thousands of people.
The country’s disaster agency said searches will continue in Kahramanmaras and Hatay, although hopes of finding anyone else alive in the rubble are fading fast.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Turkey and announced $100m in humanitarian aid.
More than 44,000 people are confirmed to have lost their lives in south-eastern Turkey and northern Syria.
The death toll is expected to climb, with about 345,000 apartments in Turkey known to have been destroyed and many people still missing.
