Week after earthquake in Syria, focus turns to humanitarian crisis

A week on from a deadly 7.8-magnitude earthquake, the search for survivors in northern Syria continues.

But as the hope of finding survivors in the rubble fades, focus is beginning to shift to the millions left homeless by the disaster.

Aid has been slow to reach the worst-hit parts of the country, where years of civil war have already left vital infrastructure ill-equipped.

While aid convoys have now been able to cross the border from Turkey, Syria is still staring down the barrel of a vast humanitarian crisis.
