WATCH: A week after earthquake in Syria
A week on from a deadly 7.8-magnitude earthquake, the search for survivors in northern Syria continues.
Survivors wait near their homes at the site of collapsed buildings after a powerful earthquake, in Hatay, Turkey, 15 February 2023. More than 41,000 people died and thousands more were injured after two major earthquakes struck southern Turkey and northern Syria on 06 February. Authorities fear the death toll will keep climbing as rescuers look for survivors across the region. Picture: EPA-EFE/SEDAT SUNA

While aid convoys have now been able to cross the border from Turkey, Syria is still staring down the barrel of a vast humanitarian crisis.
