The official death toll in Turkey, Syria continues to rise.

Líon oifigiúil na marbh sa Tuirc, sa tSiria ag ardú i gcónaí.

11,200 people have now been killed in southern Turkey and northern Syria due to the earthquake that occurred in that region two days ago.

Áirítear anois 11,200 duine a bheith maraithe i ndeisceart na Tuirce agus i dtuaisceart na Siria mar gheall ar an gcrith talún a tharla sa réigiún sin dhá lá ó shin.

It is estimated that 8,600 people were killed in Turkey and over 2,500 in Syria, including Kurdistan.

Meastar gur maraíodh 8,600 duine sa Tuirc agus os cionn 2,500 sa tSiria, lena n-áirítear an Chordastáin.

It is assumed that these official figures will be rising for the next few years.

Glactar leis gur ag ardú go ceann scaithimh eile a bheas na figiúirí oifigiúila seo.

From the Turkish side, the authorities say that 13.5 million people have been affected by the disaster in a distance of 450 kilometers between the city of Adana in the west of the country and the city of Diyarbakir in the east.

Ó thaobh na Tuirce de, deir na húdaráis gur bordáil ar 13.5 milliún duine atá buailte ag an tubaiste in achar 450 ciliméadar idir cathair Adana in iarthar na tíre agus cathair Diyarbakir san oirthear.

The rescue workers who have been doing their best since they were informed to find people who are still alive in the debris, with their clothes on, must be worried.

Tá sithiúlacht, ní foláir, sna hoibrithe tarrthála atá ag déanamh a ndíchill ó cuireadh fios orthu teacht ar dhaoine atá fós ina mbeatha sa smionagar, dá éadóichí sin.

As for the people who survived but their houses were destroyed, they are finding shelter from the snow and the cold of winter in mosques, schools and other large buildings.

Maidir leis na daoine a tháinig slán ach ar scriosadh a dtithe, tá díon á fháil acu ar an sneachta agus ar ghoimh an gheimhridh i moscanna, scoileanna agus i mbanracha móra eile.

The smallest tent would do for some of them, indeed, and they only have firewood from their own ancestors to keep them warm.

Dhéanfadh an teálta is lú cúis do chuid acu, go deimhin, agus gan acu ach connadh óna n- iarthithe féin lena gcoinneáil te.

The biggest delay in external relief is now the case with the refugees.

An mhoill ar fhóirithint ón taobh amuigh is mó is cás leis na dídeantaithe anois.

It is needed without space, of course, since the regional infrastructure has been destroyed - between shops, the power supply and others.

Tá sé de dhíth gan spás, dar ndóigh, ó tá an bonneagar réigiúnach scriosta – idir shiopaí, an soláthar cumhachta agus eile.

As bad as things are in Turkey, they are even worse in northern Syria, where the infrastructure was already very poor due to the war there.

Dá dhonacht cúrsaí sa Tuirc, is measa fós iad i dtuaisceart na Siria, mar a raibh an bonneagar fíorlag cheana féin mar gheall ar an gcogaíocht ansin.

Not only is water, food and fuel scarce, but basic medical treatment for the injured is not readily available.

Ní hamháin go bhfuil uisce, bia agus breosla gann, ach níl cóireáil bhunúsach leighis do na daoine a gortaíodh le fáil go saoráideach.

Charitable organizations are petitioning Western countries to suspend sanctions they have imposed on Syria on humanitarian grounds.

Tá eagraíochtaí carthanachta ag achainí ar thíortha an Iarthair smachtbhannaí atá curtha acu ar an tSiria a chur ar fionraí ar chúiseanna daonnachta.

The charities are also urging the Syrian Government to allow relief supplies into rebel-held areas, regardless of which flag they salute.

Tá na carthanais ag impí ar Rialtas na Siria chomh maith soláthairtí fóirithinte a li...
