It follows an earthquake 2 weeks ago that killed over 44,000 people.

Six people have been killed and more than 600 injured after another earthquake struck the border between Turkey and Syria.

It comes two weeks after a massive quake left more than 45-thousand people dead in the same region.

There have been more than 6-thousand aftershocks since the first earthquake - this one had a magnitude of 6-point-4.

Charity worker Faddy Sahloul says it's like something out of a horror movie:

People were terrified and running in the streets, screaming, children crying.

We thought we were going back slowly, slowly to normality.

It's something that I cannot find a word in the dictionary for what is happening.
