As the earthquake death toll across Turkey and Syria passed 21,000, one Australian family got the news they had been hoping for. Penny Wong today said one Australian missing in Turkey had been found while two remain unaccounted for after Sydney man Can Pahali was yesterday confirmed to have died.
Australian rescue teams and technical equipment are on their way to the earthquake zone, where the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s relief efforts have been described by some as too little, too late.
