Four days after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Turkey and neighbouring Syria, the hospitals in the quake-stricken city of Hatay near the Turkish-Syrian border are either completely destroyed or heavily damaged. Hatay Education and Research Hospital, the biggest in the city, is now out of service due to the destruction caused by the tremors. Nevertheless, its derelict premises have become the biggest treatment centre for those rescued from the ruins. Its huge yard houses both a landing pad for helicopters carrying patients to hospitals in nearby cities and the site of a series of 'tent hospitals' where healthcare workers from Libya and Turkey join forces to heal those pulled from the ruins.
