Drone footage showed huge cracks in a main road connecting Turkey's Hatay and Syria's Aleppo following Monday's 7.8-magnitude earthquake that killed thousands of people across both countries.

The deadly quake toppled thousands of buildings including hospitals, schools and apartment blocks, injured tens of thousands and left countless people homeless.

As the death toll surpasses 11,000 people, rescue workers struggled to reach some of the worst-hit areas like Kahramanmaraş, held back by destroyed roads, poor weather and a lack of heavy equipment.

    It's a sad fact. 🙁As someone affected by the earthquake, I still haven't recovered. I am going through very difficult times financially and I have never received enough support. If you are abroad and want to give me a job, please inform me. I am good at Digital Marketing. 😣

    I live 450 km away from the earthquake zone. But we felt these earthquakes. A very strong earthquake. There is great destruction in 10 provinces. Some small towns and villages were destroyed. It is not like an earthquake, as if an atomic bomb had been dropped. 5 of my relatives died. There are wounded and dead everywhere. No country can fight this disaster alone. I am calling to all countries of the world, please help us. Mankind must hold hands to be strong
  • It will take years to fix this, but the souls that have left will not come back.

    The dimensions of the disaster are far beyond what it seems. 6-7 cities were completely destroyed. There is a great human tragedy going on. Turkey is experiencing one of the greatest disasters in human history. Please, please help us. We need financial and moral help.
