The major earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria a week ago is set to claim 4,000 Syrian lives before the final deathtoll is concluded. The rebel stronghold, located in the northwestern part of the country, took the brunt of the quake as far as Syria is concerned. With many there already being displaced several times due to the Syrian civil war, the earthquake now forces them to relocate yet again, and the region receives little help. "We have so far failed the people in north-west Syria, They rightly feel abandoned," United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths tweeted from the Turkey-Syria border, where only a single border crossing is open for U.N. aid supplies.
