Exactly a month after the devastating earthquake which killed more than 50 thousand people, Turkey is facing a homelessness crisis of unprecedented scale. The United Nations Development Programme – the UNDP – estimates that a least one and a half million people are still inside the disaster zone with nowhere to live.

For 5 Minutes On, The BBC's Middle East Correspondent, Anna Foster, reflects on the devastation caused by the Turkey-Syria quake, and it's continued impact on the people of the two countries.
