More Than 24,000 People Confirmed Dead In Monday’s Earthquakes In Turkey And Syria

More than 24,000 people are now known to have died in the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.

Rescue teams are still searching for survivors in the rubble of collapsed buildings.

Turkey’s President has faced criticism over his slow response to the disaster.

But many in his country have travelled to the quake’s epicentre to do what they can to help:

“We are trying to get the people just little bit smile, and again to get them warm. So, yes, it’s a difficult issue for all of us but we are trying to do our best”.
