Tens of thousands may be dead after twin 7.8 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes struck southern Turkey and northern Syria on Monday.

Some 6,000 buildings collapsed as a result of the quake, according to Turkish officials. Ovgun Ahmet Ercan, an earthquake expert, estimates that 180,000 people or more may be trapped under the rubble, nearly all of them dead.

Damage from the earthquake will mean more misery for Syria, already battered by a decade of war. And in Turkey frustration is setting in, as is the sense that parts of the country have been abandoned.
