FORMER Fenerbahce keeper Volkan Demirel was reduced to tears while pleading for help for the victims of Turkey's huge earthquake.
More than 1,000 people were killed in an enormous once-in-a-century tremor of magnitude 7.8 on Monday morning.
Just hours later, they were then hit by a second earthquake which registered as a 7.5.
Ex-Chelsea and Newcastle winger Christian Atsu is reportedly trapped under the rubble.
And rescuers are now desperately trying to save as many people as they can.
Demirel, who spent 17 years playing for Fenerbahce, took to social media on Monday to plead with people outside Turkey for support.
