It is still too early to gauge the full impact of the two massive earthquakes that shook Turkey in the early hours of Monday morning. What is known so far is that the damage stretched widely beyond the epicentre in the city of Gaziantep - with buildings collapsing and mass casualties across the border in northern Syria. At least 3,800 people are confirmed to have died. (Photo: Severely cracked and lifted concrete footpath. Picture Credit: Getty Images)
