Mustafa Gunay lost his sister and her family when the earthquakes hit their home city of Antakya in Turkey
Friends of a Turkish man living in North Belfast have come together to support him as he mourns the loss of close family members in the Turkey-Syria earthquake.
This has been a devastating time for Mustafa, who just three months ago lost his father to illness, just weeks after the sudden death of his ex-wife. Mustafa, who also has a 15-year-old son, has lived in Northern Ireland for the past 17 years. Now following the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, Mustafa has also lost his sister, Serpil, 39, and her family.
In Turkey alone, 44,218 people died as a result of the earthquakes, the country’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority said on Friday, while the latest announced death toll in Syria was 5,914. There have been no reports of survivors being rescued in recent days. It has been organised by his friend and work colleague, Stephen McClenaghan, who works with him at Dunmurry-based car components maker, Linamar.
