I think some of the information said there were about 6500+ buildings in the different regions of Turkey alone that have collapsed? To have around 1 person per building would be nothing short of a miracle.

Most sources are saying that only 3500 are confirmed dead, but the WHO is also stating that there could be 8 times as many deaths as what's been confirmed:
