Turkey earthquake: Powerful quake kills more than 2,000 people in Turkey and Syria | ITV News

More than 2,300 people have been killed and hundreds injured after two major earthquakes struck central Turkey and north-west Syria on Monday.

At 4am, a powerful 7.8 magnitude quake rocked south-eastern Turkey and northern Syria. The tremors from the earthquake, which was centred about 60 miles from the Syrian border, just north of the city of Gaziantep, were felt as far away as Cairo in Egypt.

Less than 10 hours later, at about 1.30pm local time, a new earthquake hit about 80 miles from the first epicentre.
