Searchers today ended efforts to find anyone else alive in the rubble of an earthquake-shattered hotel in eastern Turkey.

The body of one of two journalists missing in the rubble of a hotel in Turkey has been discovered as the death toll in the second earthquake to strike the east of the country in recent weeks reached 25.

Rescue workers have recovered the bodies of five more victims of Turkey’s latest earthquake, increasing the death toll to at least 17, including a Japanese aid worker who came after last month’s devastating quake.
