A rescue operation is under way across much of southern Turkey and northern Syria following a huge earthquake that has killed more than 1,000 people.

The 7.8 magnitude quake struck near Gaziantep in the early hours of Monday while people were asleep

A new 7.5-magnitude tremor hit at around 13:30 local time (10:30 GMT), which officials said was "not an aftershock".
