Latest on quakes that hit beleaguered region
A second 7.5-magnitude earthquake has hit southeastern Turkey. It followed a quake registering 7.8 that struck the region earlier on Monday.
More than 3,700 people are known to have been killed in Turkey and northern Syria. The toll is expected to rise on both sides of the border.
The early morning 7.8-magnitude temblor was centered about 20 miles from Gaziantep, a major city and provincial capital in Turkey.
The first quake was Turkey's largest disaster since 1939, according to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Aftershocks as strong as Turkey’s 7.5-magnitude tremor are rare
Mk barner
The 7.5-magnitude tremor that struck Turkey on Monday after the 7.8-magnitude earthquake was an unusually strong aftershock, according to seismologists.
Aftershocks are typically about 1.2 magnitude units lower than the original quake, a statistical theory shows. But the jolt that hit Turkey just over nine hours after the initial earthquake was only 0.3 units smaller.
Seismologists said the 7.5-magnitude shake that came after the first quake qualified as an aftershock because it met aftershock classifications: It occurred within one fault line of the initial quake and was smaller in magnitude.
What will happen next is hard to predict. Dara Goldberg, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey, said many smaller aftershocks are still likely.
As we start to see how this aftershock sequence shapes up, we’ll have better estimates of how long and how productive we expect this sequence to be,” Goldberg said. “But unfortunately, the reality is that there will certainly be aftershocks, and hopefully they don’t significantly hinder rescue efforts.

Iraq, Qatar and Israel join relief effort
Iraq, Qatar and Israel offered aid in the form of supplies and personnel to earthquake victims Monday.
Israel pledged to deploy a military aid mission consisting of 150 people to Turkey. The military staff will include search and rescue teams and medics.
Iraq's government said it would send search and rescue teams, first aid kits, fuel, tents, food, and water to both Syria and Turkey. Volunteers with Turkish visas have committed to travel as part of the relief efforts and a group of trucks supervised by the Iraqi Red Crescent has already reached the Turkish border, the government said.
Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs tweeted Monday that it is sending 10,000 mobile residences to both countries as part of its relief support.
Several other countries and world leaders have also offered assistance following the earthquake
