The combined number of deaths caused by a series of earthquakes in Turkey and Syria has reached 15,383, authorities confirmed on Wednesday. As the death toll rose, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan acknowledged the shortcomings in the initial rescue operations during his visit to Kahramanmaras. Hopes are fading as many are trapped under the rubble of collapsed buildings amid freezing temperatures.
