The death toll after Monday's disastrous earthquakes in Turkey and Syria has passed 11,000 on Wednesday and is expected to climb yet further.

Throughout the day, survivors and rescue teams have been picking through the ruins of homes to desperately try and free any survivors that remain trapped after Monday's devastating earthquake which has left more than 11,000 people dead across Turkey and Syria.
Over 48 hours since the first 7.8 magnitude quake struck near the city of Gaziantep, residents remain too afraid to re-enter buildings that remain standing - while rescue crews work tirelessly to stop the death toll from mounting.
