With whole neighbourhoods destroyed, the Turkish government says more than 300,000 people are sheltering in dormitories and universities.
Sky's Alex Crawford is in Turkey, not far north of the Syrian border.
"We saw crowds of people looting the supermarkets saying they were hungry, had nowhere to stay, no homes, no food. And crucially no help at the moment, which is the constant message we are getting from people in this area."
