The rescue efforts continue in Syria and Turkey as the death toll exceeds 29,000 people overnight.

UN officials flooded the quake zone scene on Saturday, with aid chief Martin Griffiths describing the earthquakes as the "worst event" to strike the region in over 100 years.

Griffiths added that the death toll is expected to "more than double" as rescue workers desperately sift through the rubble. 

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has also vowed to prosecute individuals caught looting in the quake zone, with local authorities already arresting 48 people.

Meanwhile, World Health Organisation (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus arrived in Aleppo on Saturday with 37 metric tonnes of aid.

Tedros said the WHO would be sending an additional 30 tonnes of aid on Sunday.
