Haunting images taken in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria show a father tenderly holding the hand of his 15-year-old daughter as she laid dead in the rubble of a building.
Mesut Hancer was captured sitting in debris holding the hand of his daughter Irmak, whose body lay on a bed beneath slabs of concrete, glass and bricks in the region of Kahramanmaras.
She is one of at least 7000 people to lose their life after a 7.8 magnitude quake stuck yesterday, followed 7.7 magnitude aftershock.
Associated Press reports there are long lines of people queuing for bread in Kahramanmaras, near the epicentre of the first quake.
In northern Syria, an infant was pulled alive from a collapsed building with her umbilical cord still attached.
She was the only member of her family to survive, with doctors saying her mother Afraa Abu Hadiya died shortly after giving birth.
