Shocking footage has emerged of an enormous chasm in the earth's crust, caused by the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria last week.
The video shows the staggering power of the quake, which measured at least 7.8 on the Richter scale and has claimed the lives of more than 30,000 people.
Entire fields can be seen blanketed with debris as a massive crack splits the ground, while other drone footage shows buildings flattened into piles of rubble.
Rescuers continue to have some success in their desperate search for survivors - on Saturday a two-year-old boy was found alive after being buried in the rubble for 133 hours.
Aliye Dagli, two, was pulled from a collapsed building after surviving under the debris for more than five days.
In Turkey’s Hatay province, 35-year-old Ozlem Yilmaz and her six-year-old daughter Hatice were found alive in the ruins after 117 hours. And after 119 hours buried in Kahramanmaras, Kamil Can Agas, 16, asked his rescuers: “What day is it?”
A seven-month-old baby named Hamza was also rescued in Hatay after more than 140 hours.
Experts warned the odds of finding more survivors in the freezing cold were starting to decrease as time wears on, with a United Nations chief warning that the death toll could double to over 50,000.
Martin Griffiths, the UN's Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, told Sky News: "I think it is difficult to estimate precisely [how many have died] as we need to get under the rubble but I'm sure it will double or more.
"That's terrifying. This is nature striking back in a really harsh way."
He added: "We haven't really begun to count the number of dead."
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately 26 million people have been affected by the earthquake.
The man quake on February 6 has been followed by a staggering 2,109 powerful aftershocks, causing further damage and destruction.
The quake was the deadliest to affect Syria since the 1822 Aleppo earthquake, which was one of the strongest quakes ever recorded in the Levant and claimed the lives of approximately 20,000 people.
The most recent earthquake has killed more than 5,000 people in Syria.
