Rescuers search for survivors after Turkey-Syria earthquake kills thousands – BBC News – BBC News


An international aid effort is being stepped up in southern Turkey and northern Syria following a huge earthquake that has killed more than 4,800 people. 

The 7.8 magnitude quake struck near Gaziantep in the early hours of Monday while people were asleep. A 7.5-magnitude tremor then hit at around 13:30 local time (10:30 GMT), which officials said was "not an aftershock". 

Rescuers are racing to save people trapped beneath the rubble after thousands of buildings collapsed in both countries.
