A series of earthquakes and aftershocks striking the border region between southeast Turkey and northwest Syria have killed more than 3,400 people.
The 7.8 magnitude earthquake was centred in Kahramanmaras province, near the major Turkish cities of Gaziantep and Adana, and caused many buildings to collapse and kill many sleeping at the time. The same was true across the border in northern Syria, a region still facing a civil war that has stretched nearly 12 years.
