- A two-year-old has been rescued from the rubble in Antakya, Turkey as the death toll from the Turkey-Syria earthquakes has passed 20,000. At least 17,674 people have died in Turkey, according to Vice President Fuat Oktay, while at least 3,317 have been killed in Syria.
- The first UN aid convoy has reached rebel-held northwest Syria from Turkey.
- Hopes of finding survivors are quickly fading and residents of southeastern Turkey and northwestern Syria are criticising what they call slow search and rescue efforts.
- Yet amid the freezing cold, rescue workers are still pulling people out alive from the rubble, as search operations continue for a fourth day.
