Search and rescue efforts continued in Turkey and Syria on Tuesday following Monday's devastating earthquakes as the death toll continued to climb, soaring past 5,000.

In Turkey, at least 3,419 people were killed, the country's vice president said in an update. In Syria, the death toll in government-held areas climbed to 812, according to the Ministry of Health. Meanwhile, at least 790 died in the country's rebel-held territories, according to the White Helmets.

That takes the total to at least 5,021 killed across Turkey and Syria, with thousands more injured and many still buried beneath the rubble.
