Syria earthquake: 'The hospitals are overwhelmed with dead bodies'

Newshour

Available for over a year

More than 11,000 people in southern Turkey and northern Syria are now known to have been killed following Monday's earthquake. In Syria, the White Helmets, who are leading efforts to rescue people in rebel-held areas, say time is running out to save people. Newshour's James Menendez has been speaking to Ammar al-Salmou - one of the board members for the organisation.
