Rescuers have been searching through the rubble of destroyed buildings with their hands in freezing conditions.

Thousands of people are already known to have died but the the World Health Organisation said the number may rise eight-fold over the coming days, with many thousands of people buried under rubble and unaccounted for.

  1. How about we send less planes and tanks to Ucraine and more humanitarian aid to Syrian and Turkish people? Or is it is that we care only when there's a profit to be made?

  2. £5million UK government aid to save lives- £1billion+weapons to kill people in war- it shows where their priorities lie. If the government said they'd only match public donations for war, it probably wouldn't get a penny. Peace is precious. No more war!

  3. I still cannot believe the tragedy that befell our Turkish brothers and sisters. i'm so sad For the first time in my life, I am praying to God that everyone will be rescued safely. Many South Koreans are now sending aid to help them.

  4. This is a message for those countries fighting over territories, it is not worth it ……. this Earth is for God, we are here just living in moments and we will leave this Earth . so fighting over lands is not worth it . let us make our world a good place for living and help each other in hard times .
