Hundreds of emergency shelters have been set up in the quake-hit regions of Turkey where the death toll has surpassed 9,000. Though the combined death toll in both Turkey and Syria has crossed 16,000.
Satellite images released by Maxar Technologies show hundreds of emergency relief shelters in areas which used to have high-rise buildings and stadiums.
Meanwhile, rescue efforts are underway after Monday’s magnitude 7.8 earthquake and its forceful aftershocks.
A frantic race is underway to find more survivors and help the injured as the death toll passed 15,000 in Turkey and Syria.
The toll is likely to climb further as freezing weather and multiple aftershocks are hampering the rescue efforts, despite international assistance.
