The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday it was concerned about areas in Turkey from which there had been no news following a deadly earthquake overnight.

"National authorities will be focussing on search and rescue at the moment," a WHO spokesperson told Reuters in a statement. "Then we will expect an increased need for trauma care to treat the injured and to support the entire health system in affected areas."
