Mountains of rubble after quake strikes Turkey

A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck south-east Turkey, demolishing buildings and killing scores of people.

The quake, which hit Gaziantep early on Monday, was reported to be 10km deep (six miles).

People are posting footage on social media of locals trapped under the rubble.

Tremors were felt as far away as Turkey's capital Ankara and in neighbouring countries.
