Two fresh earthquakes of 5.6 and 5.7 magnitude hit Turkey on Tuesday, a day after three deadly quakes - also felt in Syria, Lebanon and Israel - rocked the country, having claimed around 5,000 lives so far. The massive 7.8 magnitude quake was followed by dozens of aftershocks.

A second major earthquake registering 7.5 on the Richter scale hit central Turkey just a few hours later, causing panic among rescue workers and survivors. In the evening, another quake of magnitude 6.0 hit the area, causing more damage and loss of lives.
