Turkey travel warning as Foreign Office releases new guidance for UK visitors

The Foreign Office has issued a warning to people from the UK against travelling to parts of Turkey following a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake.

More than 1,300 people have died after the earthquake rocked south-eastern Turkey and northern Syria. Hundreds of people are still believed to be trapped under rubble, and the death toll is expected to rise as rescue workers searched the wreckage in cities and towns across the region.

The quake, felt as far away as Cairo, was centred north of Gaziantep, a Turkish provincial capital. Turkey sits on top of major fault lines and is frequently shaken by earthquakes.
