Devastating Turkey earthquake: Life in Gaziantep six months on
The chief executive of the Disasters Emergency Committee has visited Gaziantep, Turkey six months after a devastating earthquake rocked the area.
Video footage shows the ruin and wreckage caused by the earthquake that hit southern Turkey and northwest Syria on February 6, killing roughly 58,000 people.
During the visit, the DEC chief speaks outside of crumbling buildings and ruined homes, and shows several mounds of rubble littering the streets.
The DEC announced that donations have reached £151.8 million, which includes £5 million matched by the UK Government through the Aid Match scheme.
