BBC World Service - BBC OS, Turkey and Syria earthquakes: Children

We discuss mental health effects of natural disasters in children

We discuss mental health effects of natural disasters in children.

We speak to a child psychologist about mental health effects of earthquakes in children, especially in those who have lost their parents. 

We bring more stories of survivors in Turkey and Syria who have lost family members and their homes in last week’s earthquakes.

We talk about criticism of Turkey's government response and about rebel-held north-west Syria where a UN delegation has arrived for the first time since the earthquakes eight days ago. 

After a German theatre critic was allegedly smeared with dog excrement, we speak to critics who have experienced bullying and trolling over their work.

We hear a conversation with three African- American men about their experiences of the police in the US.
