Officials said 12,000 more tents will be delivered to the cities of Ercis and Van and also to nearby villages.

Ankara has been accused of failing to help some of the most needy, who spent the second night in freezing conditions without heating and tents.

At least 366 people are now known to have died and some 1,300 injured after the 7.2-magnitude earthquake.

More than 2,000 houses collapsed due to the quake, the Disaster and Emergency Administration said on October 25.

Rescue teams with sniffer dogs continued through the night to search for survivors under the rubble of hundreds of collapsed buildings.

Cranes and other heavy equipment have been lifting slabs of concrete, and many residents have been joining in the rescue effort, digging with shovels.

But hopes of finding more survivors are fading, with no-one being pulled alive in the last seven to eight hours.
