Description
Mevlude Aydin cannot bring herself to visit the graves of her daughter and husband or the dozen other relatives she lost in Turkey's catastrophic earthquake one year ago. The trauma of seeing her ancient home city of Antakya turned into unrecognisable ruins is too much for the 41-year-old to bear. "Our Hatay is gone. Completely gone," Aydin says at one of the container-type homes the government has built for survivors across Antakya's ravaged Hatay province. The February 6, 2023 disaster killed more than 50,000 people and erased swathes of entire cities across Turkey's southeast in the middle of the night. No place was affected more than Antakya, formerly known as Antioch -- a mountain-rimmed cradle of Muslim and Christian civilisations near the Syrian border where nearly 90 percent of the buildings were lost.
