The death toll from the earthquake that has devastated parts of Turkey and Syria exceeded 42,000 on Friday as the United Nations appealed for $1 billion to address a growing humanitarian crisis. France said it was sending an additional 40 tonnes of tents, food and medical aid.
Eleven days after the quake – now one of the 10 deadliest in the past 100 years – Turkish rescuers pulled a 17-year-old girl and a woman in her 20s out of the rubble.
