Description

A huge 7.8 magnitude earthquake brought down entire apartment blocks and killed more than 2,700 people across a swathe of Turkey and northwest Syria on Monday, with freezing winter weather adding to the plight of the thousands of survivors left injured or homeless. Freelance journalist Rama Al-Shikh joins us from the Turkish town of Kilis. She's reporting directly from one of the hardest-hit areas along the Turkish-Syrian border.
