VAN - Death toll from Sunday’s earthquake at Turkey-Iran border has risen to 10 while the treatment of 25 people continues. 14 year old Ercan who was critically injured as a result of the earthquake has lost his life. 

The 5.9 magnitude earthquake that hit the border area on February 23 had devastating consequences in the region with poor housing conditions. The earthquake claimed the life of 9 people, 5 of whom were from the same family; a father and four children, the youngest being a six-month-old baby.

Acar will be laid to rest in his village today.
 
In the meantime, 25 injured victims of the earthquake continue receiving treatment in hospitals in Van.
