Turkey and Syria earthquake video: Earthquake in Turkey and Syria kills thousands and devastates cities
More than 2,000 people were killed when an earthquake struck central Turkey and north-west Syria, in one of the most powerful quakes in the region in at least a century, while a second powerful tremor hours later threatened to overwhelm rescue efforts.
