A rescue operation is under way across much of southern Turkey and northern Syria following a huge earthquake that has killed at least 3,000 people

The 7.8 magnitude quake struck near Gaziantep in the early hours of Monday while people were asleep

A new 7.5-magnitude tremor hit at around 13:30 local time (10:30 GMT), which officials said was "not an aftershock"

The country's disaster agency says more than 2,000 people were killed in Turkey alone after the first quake, and more than 9,700 were wounded

More than 1,000 people are reported to have died in Syria

Rescuers are racing to save people trapped beneath the rubble after hundreds of buildings collapsed in both countries

World leaders have pledged to send aid after Turkey issued an international appeal for help

Millions of people across Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus and Israel felt the earthquake
