By Quentin Sommerville, Tom Bateman, Anna Foster & Kathryn ArmstrongBodies of people killed in the earthquake in southern Turkey on Monday are being left out on the street as the hunt continues for survivors.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced a three-month state of emergency in the 10 provinces worst affected by the earthquake. Family members of those missing combed through the rubble looking for their loved ones. A group of men using sledgehammers and other tools found the bodies of a man and a young girl who were trapped. They called to official rescuers to use their power tools to help, but they said they had to concentrate on the living.There is growing anger that there isn't enough help.
One woman the BBC spoke to is sheltering with her children and grandchildren, including a six-year-old who has epilepsy. Relief workers have brought them duvets and they have been given some bread but there has been no other support so far. The blaze is thought to have been caused when an oil-filled shipping container tipped over as a result of the earthquake and then flames spread to the surrounding freight.
Even before the earthquake the situation in much of the region was critical, with freezing weather, crumbling infrastructure and a cholera outbreak causing misery for many of those who live there. More than four million people, mainly women and children, were already relying on aid.
The death toll in Turkey continues to rise as survivors struggle to find shelter and support .

May God and the whole world help the Turkish and Syrian people!🙏😢💔
