The Turkish president will visit the devastated provinces of Adiyaman and Malatya.

According to Turkish official broadcaster TRT Haber, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to examine the earthquake-affected districts in the provinces of Adiyaman and Malatya on Friday.

The provinces are situated north of Gaziantep, the 7.8-magnitude earthquake’s epicenter, and towards the south of the nation.

Rescue workers are battling the elements to find survivors among the rubble of fallen buildings in Turkey and Syria, where more than 21,000 people have died.

According to authorities, there were at least 78,124 injuries across both countries.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey would observe seven days of national mourning for the victims of Monday’s earthquake.
