Surviving Turkey鈥檚 earthquake

As rescuers search through the rubble, those who survived wake up to a grim new reality.

The immediate impact was devastating. Buildings collapsed and thousands were killed when two powerful earthquakes hit southern Turkey and northern Syria.

As rescuers continue their search through the rubble, those who've survived are waking up to a grim new reality. Many have been left without any power or proper shelter during sub-zero temperatures. And all while dealing with unimaginable grief.

For the latest episode of 5 Minutes On, our middle east correspondent Tom Bateman has been speaking to survivors in the southern city of Adana, and finding out how they're starting to piece their lives back together amongst the rubble.
