Have you been affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria?
More than 1,500 people have been killed after an earthquake hit central Turkey and north-west Syria. The death toll is expected to rise, with search and rescue operations ongoing across the region.
The magnitude 7.8 earthquake, which hit in the early hours of Monday morning, was followed by a second, 7.7 quake in the middle of the day.
Official figures from Turkey say 1,014 people were killed there and 5,383 were injured. Syria’s health ministry said that more than 326 people had been killed and 1,042 injured. In addition to those figures, the White Helmets rescue service in the north-west of Syria in areas not controlled by the government put their death toll at 221, giving a total of 1,561 confirmed dead.
We want to hear from people in the region about the impact of the earthquake about how they have been affected. We are also interested in speaking to people involved in the humanitarian response about what they have seen and the impact of the disaster.
