A huge earthquake killed more than 2,400 people across a swathe of Turkey and northwest Syria on February 6, with freezing winter weather adding to the plight of the many thousands left injured or homeless and hampering efforts to find survivors.
The worst tremor to strike Turkey this century, it came before sunrise in harsh weather and was followed in the early afternoon by another large quake of magnitude 7.7.
Live television footage and eyewitness video from Turkey and Syria showed buildings being razed to the ground and screams as residents fled.
