Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the initial state response had been slowed by the fact that emergency personnel and their families were themselves trapped under collapsed buildings.

Turkey’s main opposition party filed two separate complaints, one about a Twitter blackout that occurred during crucial search-and-rescue efforts after Monday’s earthquakes, and the other aimed at market regulators.

The number of dead in Turkey and Syria rose to 22,764 according to Turkish state media and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which uses a network of activists on the ground. Tens of thousands of people were still missing.

The number injured in Turkey is over 74,000, according to President Erdogan.
