Lack of clean water and toilets puts survivors at risk of disease

The acrid smell of smoke from hundreds of fires used to keep survivors warm has filled Malatya's air.

Looking around, families are standing amid towering piles of rubble that were once their homes, determined to find their loved ones buried below.

Some hack away at the debris for hours on end, in the hope they may find someone still alive.

Others stand at the roadside, with concern and anxiety clearly etched on their faces.

This southern Turkish city, which once boasted a population of more than 500,000 people, has been destroyed beyond recognition since last week's devastating 7.8 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes.

Scores of buildings were reduced to rubble in downtown Malatya on 6 February, in the deadliest natural disaster to strike Turkey in its modern history.
