Rescuers scrambled to find survivors of an earthquake that killed at least 272 people in Turkey as residents readied to spend a second night outside in the freezing cold.
People living in the eastern Van province issued cries for help on Twitter, giving out the addresses of collapsed buildings and the number of people trapped under the debris.
Hundreds of rescuers worked around the clock in the town of Ercis, which bore the brunt of the quake, and surrounding villages, as scores of ambulances and medical supplies were rushed to the area.
