“It shook a little, then it grew strong,” he said. “The electricity went and there were screams everywhere. There were small children in the house. They were screaming, my aunt was crying.” Turkish officials warned residents not to go into the remains of their homes, but people have done so to retrieve what they can. Three of the people killed Monday were inside a damaged four-story building when the new quake hit.

Where else are we supposed to go other than tents?” he said., where authorities said more than 139,000 buildings were either destroyed or so severely damaged that they need to be torn down.
“We have nothing left. Our home, our homeland, our children. We lost our work. Our situation is painful,” Ozalp said.
