BBC World Service - BBC OS, Turkey and Syria earthquakes: Aid workers

We speak to aid workers who are helping people affected by the earthquakes

We speak to aid workers who are helping people affected by the earthquakes.

Search and rescue efforts are still underway to find and help survivors of Monday's earthquakes. More than 19,700 are known to have died and tens of thousands more have been left homeless. We speak to two aid workers - one in Turkey, the other across the border in Syria - who share their experiences of what is happening on the ground.

We also hear from people who have family members in the areas affected by the earthquakes.

We also look at what is known about how long someone can survive under debris and what can give you protection after an earthquake.
