More than 680 people have been injured in Turkey and Syria after the new tremors on Monday evening, according to the BBC, and at least three have died.

The aid organization UOSSM has personnel on site at the Aqrabat hospital in the Syrian Idlib province, and states in a video that terrified patients felt the tremors and evacuated outside.

– We are waiting for patients to arrive as some other buildings in the area have collapsed, says Anas Al Kassem at the organization.
