The WHO said on Tuesday last week's massive earthquakes that hit Türkiye and Syria, constituted the "worst natural disaster" in 100 years in what it classified as its European region.

"We are witnessing the worst natural disaster in the WHO European region for a century and we are still learning about its magnitude," Hans Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe, told a press conference, adding that the true cost is as yet unknown.
