The scale of the destruction in the aftermath of the earthquake that hit swaths of Turkey and Syria on Monday has been unprecedented, even for residents of the war-torn country.
On the Syrian side, the area affected by the 7.8-magnitude quake and its aftershocks is divided between government-controlled territory and the country’s last opposition-held pocket of land, encircled by Russian-backed government forces.
The UN says damaged roads, a lack of equipment and tough winter conditions are hampering efforts to find survivors in Syria.
Rescue and relief efforts are being criticised as inadequate and hundreds of buildings have collapsed.
