OSMANIYE, Turkey (Reuters) - With whiskers and colourful cat ears painted on their faces, young survivors of last week's earthquake at a humanitarian camp in Osmaniye, Turkey, enjoyed a moment of childhood normality on Thursday.

Chattering excitedly, the children lined up to have their faces painted by social workers and volunteers at the camp, and to take part in sports.
