The UN has accused Turkish forces of grave violations during unrest in the south-east of the country that left 2,000 dead less than 18 months.

Up to 500,000 people, mostly Kurds, were displaced between July 2015 and December 2016, a UN report said.

Meanwhile satellite imagery showed the "enormous scale of destruction" of hundreds of buildings.

A two-year-old ceasefire between Turkey and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) broke down in July 2015.
