Thousands of refugees who fled the war in Syria to cross into Turkey have arrived at the border hoping to go back to their home country after last week's earthquakes.

Turkey has said it will allow them to leave for up to six months.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is due to visit southern Turkey, offering support to the country.

The combined death toll from the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria has climbed to more than 41,000, and millions are in need of humanitarian aid.
