An aerial view taken on the evening of March 5, 2023 shows a lit main road and streets left in darkness in Kahramanmaras, one month after a massive earthquake struck south-east Turkey. A massive 7.8-magnitude earthquake rocked huge swathes of Turkey and parts of Syria on February 6, 2023, killing more than 50,000 people in both countries, with some 46 000 on the Turkish side. One month on, teams of workers are still toiling to clear the rubble that now dominates quake-hit cities, as the country faces faces the daunting task of rebuilding flattened cities, with tens of thousands buried and many survivors barely subsisting in tents or containers. Turkish officials said 214,000 buildings collapsed following the quake, many of them in Hatay and Kahramanmaras. (Photo by Eylul Yasar/AFP Photo)
