The Prince and Princess of Wales praised "amazing" communities fundraising for families left homeless after the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.
Prince William and Kate met volunteers at the Hayes Muslim Centre in west London, where members helped raise more than £25,000 through bucket collections and other donations in the aftermath of the natural disaster.

The 7.8-magnitude earthquake and a later 7.5 tremor, which both struck on 6 February, claimed tens of thousands of lives in south-eastern Turkey and Syria and reduced thousands of homes and buildings to rubble as people slept.
Kate looked respectful in a black pleated dress with a matching coat and a cream embroidered headscarf. Meanwhile, her husband William donned a navy jumper, shirt under a grey jacket with chinos.
The Princess said: "It's sad that there's a need to do funding – it's amazing there are communities like this here raising (funds)."
