Almost 26 million people have been affected by the deadly earthquake that ravaged Turkey and Syria this week, the WHO said Saturday, warning that dozens of hospitals had been damaged.
As the death toll from the quake rose above 25,000, the UN health agency launched a flash appeal Saturday asking for $42.8 million to help it address the immediate, towering health needs.
Among them, more than five million people were considered to be particularly vulnerable, including close to 350,000 elderly people and over 1.4 million children. This is making it all the more difficult to help the tens of thousands of people who have been injured in the disaster.
