An earthquake measuring 5.7 has caused a six storey hotel and other buildings to collapse in eastern Turkey.

TV footage is showing residents and rescuers trying to lift debris to evacuate people believed to be trapped under the hotel in the provincial capital Van.

The new quake comes 2 weeks after a stronger tremor in the same area killed about 600 people.
