More than 24,000 people have now died after the two earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.
The British Red Cross, Oxfam and ActionAid are among the charities to have joined together to raise money for the many injured and homeless, whose lives have been devastated by the natural disaster.
Buildings have also collapsed in north-west Syria - in an area which was already inhospitable and inaccessible after more than a decade of civil war, and where medical facilities are severely limited. One of its charities, ActionAid, rescued a young girl from the rubble in north-west Syria after she was trapped for more than 36 hours. On being rescued, she asked to go home before remembering her home had been destroyed.
DEC Chief Executive Saleh Saeed said: "We're incredibly grateful to the British public for their hugely generous response to this horrific disaster. It's impossible not to see the images on TV and hear the stories coming from Turkey and Syria and not be moved.The campaign to support the disaster-struck countries raised more than £30m in its first 24 hours, with the King and Queen Consort thanked by the DEC for their "generous donation".
