In the early hours of Monday 6 February 2023, a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck near Turkey’s border with northern Syria. 

 

The scale of the devastation remains unclear but the earthquake has already killed more than 24,000 people, injured many more and destroyed thousands of homes and buildings, leaving families exposed to freezing winter temperatures and snowstorms. 

 

Rescuers are racing against time to reach children trapped under rubble.
