Christian charities are on the frontlines in Syria and Turkey helping those impacted by the devastating magnitude 7.8 earthquake that left more than 11,200 dead and tens of thousands injured.
Relief efforts are underway in the two countries after the earthquake, one of the strongest to hit the region in more than 100 years, struck on Monday, leveling buildings and leaving thousands dead or injured. The earthquake was followed by a 7.5-magnitude temblor only hours later.
The two quakes, along with at least 120 aftershocks, have caused tremendous destruction in Turkey and Syria: Turkey's Disaster Management Authority (AFAD) said on Wednesday that the death toll there had passed 8,500, while the combined death toll from figures provided by Syrian authorities operating in government-controlled and insurgent-held areas topped 2,600.
Authorities have warned that the figures could continue to rise and that the chances of finding survivors under the rubble are rapidly diminishing amid freezing temperatures.
