Timelapse images show the Milky Way galaxy glimmering in the night sky as it eerily lights up an abandoned and destroyed amusement park on the frontline between regime forces and rebel fighters, in the town of al-Nayrab, in Syria's northwestern Idlib region.
Among the earthquake rubble, Syrian children celebrate Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, at a makeshift amusement park in the rebel-held town of Jindayris.
Dozens of red balloons speckle the rubble of a destroyed building alongside a main road in Turkey's quake-hit south. They are the final tribute to children killed by the earthquake that devastated Antakya, according to Ogun Sever Okur, who is behind the memorial. "The dominant feeling in me is grief" he says as he hangs the balloons. "I distribute toys to the surviving children and, for the other children who were here, this is the last toy I could give them".
A family identifies a body retrieved from the rubble by rescue workers in Antakya, Turkey, then walk away from it, visibly emotional. The death toll from the powerful earthquake ten days ago in Turkey and Syria is now over 40,000, according to the latest estimates. IMAGES
