More people are pulled alive from rubble six days after the quake disaster as death toll surpasses 25,000.
More than 25,000 people are now known to have died in the disaster, including 21,848 in Turkey and 3,553 in Syria, according to figures from the AFP news agency and the death toll is expected to keep rising.
The first earthquake struck at 4:17am (01:17 GMT) on Monday and was centred in the Pazarcik district of Kahramanmaras province. Less than 12 hours later, a second 7.6 magnitude tremor struck the same region. More than 100 aftershocks were recorded following the quakes with officials urging people not to enter damaged buildings due to the risks.
Millions are thought to be homeless in the region and rescuers are increasingly focusing on those requiring food and shelter.
The UN’s humanitarian chief said only two aid convoys had reached rebel-held areas in Syria, and he called for an immediate ceasefire to allow help to reach everyone.
Against all odds, there are still remarkable stories of survival.
Late last night in the devastated Turkish city of Kahramanmaras, British and German rescuers found – and then pulled to safety – a 15-year-old girl.
