In Turkey, where two more earthquakes struck and at least three people were killed, rescuers are once more looking for victims who may be buried beneath the wreckage.
The earthquakes that rocked both countries on February 6 were followed by tremors of magnitudes 6.4 and 5.8 that occurred in the southeast, close to the border with Syria.
In Turkey and Syria, the preceding earthquakes left 44,000 people dead and tens of thousands displaced.
On Monday, tremor-weakened buildings toppled in both nations.
According to Turkey’s disaster and emergency ministry, the 5.8 earthquakes struck three minutes after the 6.4 tremors at 20:04 local time (17:04 GMT).
Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu stated that the three fatalities happened in Antakya, Defne, and Samandag while advising citizens to stay away from potentially hazardous structures.
213 people had also been hurt, according to Mr. Soylu.
As paramedics and rescue teams worked to get to the worst-affected neighborhoods, where the walls of severely damaged buildings had collapsed, reports from the city of Antakya described terror and panic in the streets.
