The number of people who died after two powerful earthquakes in Turkey and Syria has climbed above 9,600.

Aid workers, soldiers and volunteers are still searching for survivors in the rubble and in freezing temperatures - but experts fear time is running out.

Locals in Afrin in Syria say a baby born under the rubble's been pulled out alive.

Sky's special correspondent Alex Crawford is in Antakya in Turkey.

She says people there still have hope.

"Many relatives we've seen gathering here, they still believe their loved ones are inside.

"They keep on telling us they're hearing sounds, and that's why there's still this amount of desperation."
