In video: Earthquake damage in Turkey, Kermanmarsh, February 8, 2023 (Yoav Itiel)
The head of the Jewish community in the city of Antakya, Shaul Jannoudi, has been missing along with his wife since the earthquake hit Turkey on Monday and there are fears for their lives.
Yossi Janudi, his cousin, said to Walla!
Because Shaul "has many rights and over the years helped many. In the years when Jews managed to escape from Syria, he helped them in every way. He was like an incubator for them. He hid them and comforted them. He was a lifeline for many who went free."
According to him, "Since the earthquake we haven't heard from him and his wife and we are worried about them. This is the time to help them and return the favor for everything they have done for many."
Yossi said that another family member managed to escape with his wife.
He said that they managed to leave their apartment while they were still in pajamas and flip flops.
"They are begging for rescue forces to come and save Shaul and Fortuna Janudi."
"We are begging for rescue forces to come."
