The death toll from catastrophic earthquakes in southern Turkey and northwestern Syria has surpassed 5,000 on Tuesday evening, authorities said. This comes as crews raced to try to find survivors in the rubble of thousands of collapsed buildings. The aftershocks, including a magnitude 5.7 temblor that hit Tuesday, made the search itself dangerous. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday that he was declaring a state of emergency for three months across 10 provinces in the earthquake zone, according to Turkish media.
