  The Syrian government bombed an opposition-held area of the country in the immediate aftermath of Monday's catastrophic earthquake, the UK has said.

• MP Alicia Kearns, who chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee, condemned President Bashar al-Assad for launching a 'truly callous and heinous attack' on the town of Marea, found in Syria's north-west that was struck by the earthquake.

  Marea sits around 70 miles south of the Turkish town of Pazarcik, which is close to the epicentre of Monday's 7.8-magnitude quake. So far, more than 19,500 people have been confirmed dead across Turkey and Syria. The number is expected to rise.
