Turkey's earthquake-devastated area tries to pick itself up from rubble and broken promises. A year after the earthquake, only about 15% of the planned homes have been completed.

Hundreds of thousands of families depend on aid from the State and international organizations to survive. In the most affected provinces the demolition of the damaged buildings has not been completed and the clearing work continues. “How much we have suffered! Only those who have lived it know it,” laments one woman.
