Turkey earthquake: Video shows devastation as third quake hits country in 24 hours

Aerial footage from Antakya shows the scale of devastation wrecked by an earthquake in Turkey.

Three earthquakes have hit the country since Monday, 6 February. At least 3,500 people have died in Turkey, and at least 1,700 in neighbouring Syria.

Turkey officials have declared a state of emergency as an estimated 6,000 buildings have been destroyed.

Rescue efforts have been hampered by cold winter weather, with some areas left without fuel and electricity.

Tens of thousands of people have been injured or left homeless in cities across both affected countries.
