  • The death toll from the earthquakes in Turkey and northwestern Syria has gone past 29,000 as rescue efforts continue.
  • The number of deaths in Turkey rose to 24,617 on Sunday while more than 4,500 were killed in Syria.
  • The United Nations says up to 5.3 million people in Syria may be homeless after the earthquakes, while nearly 900,000 people are in urgent need of hot food in Turkey and Syria.
  • The Syrian government has approved the delivery of humanitarian aid to quake-hit areas outside its control, according to state media.
  • Turkey says it is working to open two new routes into rebel-held parts of Syria.

Rescuers pulled a survivor from earthquake rubble on Sunday, six days after one of the worst natural disasters to hit parts of Syria and Turkey, as the death toll exceeded 28,000 and looked set to rise further.
