Six people were killed in an earthquake which struck the border region of Turkey and Syria, CNN Turk reported on Tuesday, two weeks after a larger quake killed more than 47,000 people and damaged or destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes.
Total U.S. humanitarian assistance to support the earthquake response in Turkey and Syria has reached $185 million, the U.S. State Department said.
The World Food Programme has also been pressuring authorities in that region to stop blocking access for aid from Syrian government-controlled areas. At the Turkish Cilvegozu border crossing, hundreds of Syrians lined up starting early on Monday to cross.
