Television footage showed the injured being treated at tents as the private CNN-Turk television reported that most of the hospitals damaged during the quake were emptied.
Ten people, including a Japanese humanitarian worker, lost their lives during the quake which struck early yesterday and at least 27 people were pulled out alive, according to the prime minister's disaster and emergency management centre.
More than 800 rescue personnel rushed to the area, with mechanical diggers clawing through rubble after the 5.6 magnitude quake struck near the city of Van, which sent two hotels crashing down along with two dozen mostly empty buildings.
Among the 27 people recovered from the rubble were two members of a Japanese humanitarian association who had arrived in the area to help after a 7.2 magnitude quake struck on October 23, killing more than 600 people and injuring more than 4150.
