Have you been affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria?

The combined death toll from the earthquakes that hit central Turkey and north-west Syria on Monday has passed 11,000.

The magnitude 7.8 earthquake, which hit in the early hours of Monday morning, was followed by a second, 7.7 quake in the middle of the day.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has announced that the death toll from Monday’s quake has reached 8,754. There have been 2,470 known deaths in Syria.

We want to hear from people in the region about the impact of the earthquake about how they have been affected. We are also interested in speaking to people involved in the humanitarian response about what they have seen and the impact of the disaster.
