GENEVA (AFP) – Almost 26 million people have been affected by the deadly earthquake that ravaged Turkiye and Syria this week, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Saturday, warning that dozens of hospitals had been damaged.
As the death toll from the quake rose above 25,000, the United Nations (UN) health agency launched a flash appeal on Saturday asking for USD42.8 million to help it address the immediate, towering health needs.
