Really big earthquake, combined with very lax construction requirements equal a lot of death and injuries.
 

Here is the current rescue operations in Syria.


Turns out some videos are getting blurred out of News outlets on YouTube due to building collapses in the epicenter area and the unknown fallout of how much bigger the death toll really is than the current reports. Note that 8700 death figure is from current rescue operations in the country.

"Fetch" looks like a typo and doesn't make sense, but I get the gist of your post. Wikipedia is agreeing with the Associated Press, which also is not accepting Turkiye yet, just as it hasn't recognized Czechia, which is what the Czech Republic has been requesting to be called.

Yeah, someone should have caught that and gotten it corrected.

But The Associated Press is also withholding recognition of "Turkiye," so in this case Wikipedia is justified in at least trying to impose a Turkey/Turkiye rule -- although anyone who wants to change one for the other in an article can do so at will, knowing that not all such changes are ever caught and corrected.

AP has been quick to recognize new names for emerging nations exiting colonial rule, but when an established nation asks to be called something else for political or nationalistic reasons, AP has been know to exercise caution. Burma/Myanmar took years. Cambodia/Kampuchea was never recognized.
