More than16,000 people are now known to have died after Monday’s earthquakes in southern Turkey and northern Syria
Without shelter, water, fuel or electricity the World Health Organization fears many survivors could yet lose their lives
It says there’s a danger there will be a secondary disaster which may cause harm to more people than the initial quake
Rescuers are continuing their painstaking work but hopes are fading for the many still trapped under the rubble
Dozens of British charities will launch an appeal later to raise funds for people affected
Turkey says it hopes to open two more border crossings into Syria to enable the delivery of much-needed supplies there.
