Relief is on the way to Turkey and Syria after two devastating 7.8 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes.

More than 6,300 people have died, with the World Health Organisation fearing the death toll could reach 20,000.

The US is one of the 70 countries supplying aid, with President Joe Biden promising an immediate response.

US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking a specialist team from Los Angeles is among their relief being sent in.

He says the team have experience with post-quake relief in Mexico and Haiti, and will be on the ground in a few hours.
