The Turkish city where life has crumbled to a standstill – BBC Newsnight


Turkey has passed another grim milestone as the death toll from the earthquakes climbs beyond 30,000. It now surpasses the toll from a previous quake there 23 years ago, making it the worst disaster of its kind for more than 8 decades.

When northern Syria is included the total is now more than 37,000. A tragedy on this scale is marked both by countless human losses and escapes.
