Turkish President ErdoÄŸan has been criticised for the slow roll out of aid to earthquake survivors.

The death toll has now surpassed 23,000, however, officials expect that number to keep rising.

Sky News' Kay Burley says the President admitted help for the worst affected areas, was slow.

She says a city in Turkey, where 70 percent of buildings were destroyed, waited two days for aid.
