Watch live as a cleanup operation gets underway in Kahramanmaras following two fresh earthquakes on the Turkey-Syria border on Monday (20 February).

At least three people have died and more than 200 are injured from the fresh 6.4 and 5.8 magnitude temblors.

It comes just two weeks after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake killed almost 45,000 people in the two countries and displaced millions in the middle of winter.

6 February's earthquake was the worst in Turkey since 1939, and was followed by more than 6,000 aftershocks.

Emergency services have renewed searches for survivors under the rubble after the fresh tremors led to more building collapses in both countries.

Monday's quake was centred near Antakya, Turkey, but was felt across Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt.

According to the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), it struck at a depth of 6.2 miles (10km).
