Earthquake leaves thousands without home
The huge earthquake of magnitude 7.8 which struck central Turkey and northwest Syria early this morning was followed by another large quake this afternoon.
The combined death toll from the initial quake in Turkey and Syria is now believed to be more than 2,700 after at least 1,000 people were reported to have been killed in Syria. People left without internet and electricity. Turkey's lira hit a record low and its stock markets tumbled after an earthquake.
