In Turkey and Syria now they’re saying 1,800 people died already. Is it as simple as counting the bodies and reporting that?
In: 6513
I think Turkey counts only the confirmed deaths. Many of my relatives were in the earthquake area and they said %70 people at the town (its population was 45 thousand) were dead. Also a mayor said more than half of the buildings in the district destroyed.
Just by looking at the death rates in my family, 1/3 of all my relatives are either missing or dead. Yet government says only a few thousand people couldn’t be saved (this number is constantly increasing, which shows they are not guessing, just reporting confirmed deaths.).
Note: Siutation is really bad there. People are currently trying to survive without water/food/warmth etc. I would be very gladful if you can donate some to [AHBAP.](https://ahbap.org/disasters-turkey)
