United Nations (UN) aid chief Martin Griffiths on Saturday said the death toll from the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria would likely cross 50,000. Arriving in Turkey's Kahramanmaras city, the epicenter of Monday's first quake, Griffiths told SkyNews, "I think it is difficult to estimate precisely as we need to get under the rubble, but I'm sure it will double or more."
