Turkey and Syria earthquakes: Families abroad

We hear from Turkish people in Germany who have been in contact with their families in the area affected by the earthquakes.

We get updates from our correspondents on the situation in Turkey and Syria.

We also hear from two aid workers - one in Turkey, the other across the border in Syria - who share their experiences of what is happening on the ground.

We speak to our colleague from the team that is going through material that's been sent into the BBC in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, trying to verify images and videos.
