Search For Quake Survivors in Turkey

The region of Van in Eastern Turkey got hit by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake  on Sunday. The quake has caused widespread damage, with many buildings collapsing trapping their inhabitants. 265 people are known to have died but this figure is likely to increase rapidly with over 1,000 buildings having collapsed. Rescuers are desperately searching for people who may still be alive but trapped in buildings.
