BBC World Service - Newsday, Earthquake: Rescue efforts continue as death toll rises

Aftershocks have continued to hit the Turkey and Syria border devastated by earthquakes

Aftershocks have continued to hit the regions of Turkey and Syria devastated by earthquakes on Monday, which have killed nearly 5,000 people.

Rescue efforts are continuing in search for survivors from the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria that have left nearly 5,000 people dead.
 
More than 15,000 people have been injured, and hospitals in the regions are overwhelmed. Doctors have described how they aren't able to treat some dying patients - we will be hearing live from Gaziantep - the city near the epicentre which has been so badly affected and from survivors. 

Also coming up, archaeologists have reconstructed the face of a member of the ancient Nabataean civilisation after several years of work.
