The United Nations humanitarian chief, Martin Griffiths, has described the earthquakes that have taken thousands of lives and caused huge devastation in southern Turkey and north-western Syria, as "the worst natural disaster" he has ever seen. He has been visiting some of the badly hit areas in Turkey. But, speaking to the 麻豆社's chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet, he also says that with more than 100 countries sending help, the international response has been "extraordinary".
