Death toll from Turkiye-Syria earthquake passes 7,500

Bodies of people killed in the earthquake in southern Turkey on Monday are being left out on the street as the hunt continues for survivors

The United Nations believes thousands of children may be among the dead.

There was a 7.8 magnitude quake on Monday before a later tremor that was nearly as big.

Overwhelmed rescuers are struggling to save people trapped under the rubble.

Around 70 countries are sending aid to Turkiye, but there is growing anger in some places that help is not arriving fast enough.

This comes as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announces a three-month state of emergency in the 10 provinces worst affected by the earthquake.
