That's all our live coverage on the Turkey-Syria earthquake for today.
Thank you for following along - we'll be back tomorrow to bring you all the latest.
Earlier this evening, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced 35,418 people have been confirmed dead across the country.
The grim figure makes last week's earthquake the deadliest such disaster since the country's founding 100 years ago - surpassing the death toll from the massive Erzincan earthquake in 1939.
So what happened in that quake?
The 1939 Erzincan earthquake struck eastern Turkey in the early hours of 27 December.
It had a magnitude of 7.8 - the same as last week's quake - with its epicentre located near the city of Erzincan.
The earthquake rupture propagated westwards for around 400km, and caused surface rupturing, some of which can still be seen to this day.
It also seriously damaged more than 116,000 buildings, and due to the cold weather, it was difficult for aid to reach the affected areas.
Initially, the death toll was about 8,000 people, but in just over a week, that figure had reached almost 33,000.
As the search and rescue operation began, temperatures also fell to 鈭�30 掳C (鈭�22 掳F) and the area was later hit by blizzard and floods, making the situation even more deadly.
A Syrian woman has described her "miracle" escape after managing to save her children and grab a bag of belongings as their apartment came crashing to the ground.
Um Kana said she felt the first tremors of the earthquake and immediately woke her three children.
She rushed them into a small wardrobe in her bedroom and manage to grab a collection of family photos and documents as well.
The force of the quake brought their fourth floor apartment in Syria's Mediterranean town of Jableh crashing to the ground, killing almost all of their neighbours but leaving the four of them and their precious duffle bag of memories unscathed.
Um Kanan and her youngest child were tucked inside a space in the closet no more than a metre wide.
Her two elder children huddled in a nook between the closet and her bed, using pillows to shield themselves when the building crumbled.
"I kept thinking to myself: 'Can it be? Did the building just fall down? Is this a dream?' I tried to move but I couldn't," she said.
"The children and I, by some miracle, we ended up in this small space that I had left empty."
Her husband, a military officer, wasn't home at the time but also survived.
Trapped in the ruins Um Kanan and her children called out for help from rescuers, who cleared the wreckage above them.
"They removed the roof from over the closet and thankfully pulled the two kids out okay, and me and my youngest as well, and I pulled out the bag I had packed with me," she explained.
"I was so happy that we all came out safe - and I took my
memories with me."
As we reported earlier, the first convoy of United Nations aid has entered rebel-held areas of Syria through Turkey via a newly-opened crossing.
Now, we have some more details on what was included in the convoy.
According to the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths it was made up of 11 UN aid trucks, as well as 26 lorries filled with supplies from the UN Refugee Agency and the World Health Organisation.
It arrived in Syria after the UN announced President Bashar al-Assad had approved the temporary opening of two new border crossings from Turkey.
Thousands of people have died after two devastating earthquakes caused widespread destruction in Turkey and Syria.
Aftershocks, freezing temperatures and damaged roads are hampering efforts to reach and rescue those affected.
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson joins Sky News correspondent Yousra Elbagir, who is in Gaziantep, a city in southern Turkey near the epicentre of the first earthquake, and speaks to Islamic Relief worker Mohammed Hamza in northwest Syria about the additional challenges faced by aid workers in a war zone.

A volunteer in Syria has been injured after an iron skewer struck his eye while he was helping recover a body from a pile of rubble.
Faisal Raslan was helping search teams when a concrete slab fell, resulting in the skewer "injuring his eyes".
The Syrian Civil Defence, better known as The White Helmets, said his "situation has improved" after receiving treatment.

Arriving by helicopter to the hospital in Adana, Emine Akgul is incredibly lucky to be alive.
The 26-year-old teacher was rescued from a collapsed building more than 200 hours after the earthquake struck.
She was found trapped within a six-storey building in Hatay's capital Antakya, where many worked carefully but quickly to remove her from the concrete.
Deputy chief doctor of Adana City Hospital, Dr Nursah Keskin tells us she might be suffering from tissue damage due to hunger and thirst.
"Our patients will most likely suffer from renal failure and that's why we鈥檒l have to monitor her in our intensive care unit," she added.
Meanwhile, an eight-month-old girl named Birce, who fell five floors, is alive and recovering with mother Nilay by her side.
Her leg is broken, but doctors believe Birce will make a full recovery.
Nilay recalles: "When I called out to my children, I didn't hear any response. I didn't want to get out alive then. I thought, how will I survive this if my family are no more?"
While Birce and her eldest sister did make it out alive, Nilay found the body of her other child under the rubble.
In Antakya, the burden of the search is heavy. An attempted rescue of a couple is a success, and the race is on to find their 26-year-old son.
Rescue worker Eser Karatas says that scratching on the walls meant he and a team from across the world could locate the couple who were buried under the debris.
He tells us: "We realised that somebody was there, still alive and talking to us.
"After three or four days you don't hear sounds, but you say, if you hear my voice, can you hit against the wall with something, any kind of noise."
Twenty-four hours on, and after an agonizing wait, a black body bag is carried carefully down to the ground, so relatives can identify the body.
Their grief is indescribable and their screams harrowing, as their hope turns to horror.
The loss here is as cruel as it is coarse, and yet still teams search, looking for any little detail that may help them salvage life and at very least honour death.
Several people have been pulled out alive after spending days trapped underneath the rubble of collapsed buildings.
The video below shows the moment survivors were rescue after being stuck for almost 200 hours.
An 18-year-old was among those to be saved from the ruins of a building in Adiyaman, Turkey...
A firefighter has said "no amount of training" could have prepared her for the devastation she has witnessed in earthquake-hit Turkey.
Emma Atcherley, from Bedwas, South Wales, described the "rollercoaster" of emotions of working in a disaster zone - from saving a 90-year-old woman from the rubble to seeing dead bodies piled up on the side of the road.
The 42-year-old explained that her team had been entering unsafe buildings, digging tunnels, all while wondering when the next aftershock will hit and working "against the clock to reach survivors.
"That level of anxiety you just can't prepare for," she said. "No amount of training could ever prepare you for how tough life is on the ground."
Ms Atcherley was part of the team on Saturday that pulled out two survivors who had been trapped in the rubble of a collapsed building for 120 hours.
She was also involved in pulling out a 90-year-old woman on the UK team's first day in Turkey, and another man the following day.
"The reaction of the families when we've saved lives has been really heart-warming, seeing their relief and knowing that we've changed someone's life," she added.
"The worst moments have been seeing the deceased being pulled out of the rubble.
"Seeing them piled up at the side of the road and the grieving families - that's difficult. It's so sad."
Ms Atcherley was one of 77 search and rescue specialists from 14 fire and rescue services across the UK to be deployed to the country through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
The Mayor of London has met volunteers sending aid to Turkey and Syria, saying he was "humbled" by the experience.
"Londoners stand with the people of Turkey & Syria, you are in our thoughts & prayers at this incredibly difficult time," said Sadiq Khan.
He also took the time to sign a book of condolence to the victims of the earthquake.
