Turkey/Syria – The economic damage from the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria is devastating.

The damage caused by the quake could amount to billions of dollars, says the rating agency Fitch.

However, Fitch only estimates insured losses at around $1 billion because many buildings in the area were uninsured.

The number of dead has now exceeded 17,500, according to authorities in both countries.
