Haunting satellite images are starting to come through, showing the level of destruction left behind in Turkey by the series of earthquakes that devastated the region near its border with Syria.

The first earthquake, magnitude 7.8, struck at 4:17am (01:17 GMT) on Monday and was centred in the Pazarcik district of Kahramanmaras province. It was followed by dozens of aftershocks.

Less than 12 hours later, a second, magnitude 7.6, earthquake struck the same region.
