The number of wounded has risen to 131,559. The sources added that many victims remain trapped under rubble in areas rescue teams have been unable to reach.
In the past 24 hours, 39 people were confirmed killed, including one body recovered from debris, and 317 others were wounded and taken to hospitals across the territory.
