Were the buildings doomed to fall by nature of a powerful earthquake? Or did someone cut corners? Who can be held accountable in a system in which blueprints cannot be trusted and nobody agrees on whether the building passed inspection?
In a city where life has come to a standstill, 50-year-old Sincan, who counted friends and neighbours among the more than 50,000 killed in the disaster, said setting up the display as usual was a way to maintain some semblance of normalcy.
Sabriye Karan's late husband worked for the Turkish national rail company for 32 years and her daughter Nehir grew up riding trains. After powerful earthquakes struck Turkey and damaged her home, she and Nehir moved into one.
Nearly a month after deadly earthquakes struck Turkey, rescue operations are still underway. On Wednesday, a dog named 'Alex' was rescued from under the rubble after 23 days in Hatay’s Antakya district. The municipality teams were going about their business when they heard the dog's whimper coming from the debris of the buildings flattened.
