Thousands of people who survived the devastating earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria a week ago, began to ponder about their uncertain future without their homes or loved ones who were killed.
February 13, 2023, 3:57 PMFatos Baruc, who lives in Germany and whose mother-in-law survived the earthquake, sits on a chair as she waits for her belongings to take away from a damaged building in Pazarcik, Turkey, Monday, Feb. 13, 2023. Thousands left homeless by a massive earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria a week ago packed into crowded tents or lined up in the streets for hot meals Monday, while the desperate search for anyone still alive likely entered its last hours.
Associated Press journalists in Adiyaman saw a sign painted on a concrete slab in front of wreckage indicating that an expert had inspected it. In Antakya, people left signs displaying their phone numbers and asking crews to contact them if they found any bodies in the rubble. Some 100 kilometers from the epicenter, almost no houses were left standing in the Turkish village of Polat, where residents salvaged refrigerators, washing machines and other goods from wrecked homes.
“Those who have the means are leaving, but we’re poor,” he said. “The government says, go and live there a month or two. How do I leave my home? My fields are here, this is my home, how do I leave it behind?”
