The European Union and its international partners gathered in Brussels on Monday seeking to raise money for Turkey and Syria in the aftermath of the earthquake.
Some NGOs working in Syria believe that they are ready to help earthquake workers. The only thing that’s missing is the funds.
Dozens of red balloons speckle the rubble of a destroyed building alongside a main road in Turkey's quake-hit south. They are the final tribute to children killed by the earthquake that devastated Antakya, according to Ogun Sever Okur, who is behind the memorial. "The dominant feeling in me is grief" he says as he hangs the balloons. "I distribute toys to the surviving children and, for the other children who were here, this is the last toy I could give them".
Visiting Turkey for the first time, the US Secretary of State announced an additional $100 million to Turkey aimed at helping the country's long-term recovery from devastating earthquakes..
As Turkey starts to pick up the pieces after two devastating earthquakes, the need for medical care is a priority. Belgian medical volunteers have set up a field hospital in Kirikhan to relieve staff at a damaged local hospital.
