'The window for finding survivors alive is rapidly closing' SiobhanRobbins reports, live from Istanbul More than 45 countries have pledged to help Turkey and Syria following devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube
Updates from Siobhan Robbins in Istanbul, Alex Crawford in Antakya and John Sparks in Osmaniye. Live reporting by Brad Young and Jess SharpMore than 4,900 people have died in Syria and Turkey following two earthquakes and hundreds of aftershocks. The death toll in Turkey remains at 3,381 at this time. A magnitude 5.7 earthquake has struck eastern Turkey, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre.
He and his team have been filming the rescue efforts, with a DIY team of locals and emergency workers knowing there are people under the rubble, perhaps 15, but unable to reach them."There were very emotional scenes earlier. People here are on the side waiting for news of loved ones and friends who were inside this building the last time they saw them," says Sparks.
Patients have been left to die in a Turkish government hospital deserted by medical staff, Sky News understands. "There are still patients in there, some of them have been killed by the earthquake, others have died because they haven't been looked after in the interim." Hundreds of families remain trapped under the rubble of buildings destroyed by two earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria yesterday, according to the head of the Syrian opposition-run civil defence service.
