The road to Kermanmarsh passes through villages and small towns, where you can see the great damage • Citizens, whose homes collapsed, moved to live in tents built instead of markets • Many cities whose future is clouded


Traveling from city to city has become no easy task.

Not only the traffic jams but also the bridges were damaged by the earthquake and main roads were blocked, but still the drivers here accept it patiently and hope that soon the crews will repair the hazards.

From the bridge you can see the small town under the destruction, near the mosque and ambulances are on the spot with the rescuers.

The road to Kermanmarsh passes through villages and small towns, where you can see the major damage since it is a question of one-story houses that collapsed and were not fit for habitation in the first place.

Those people moved to live in tents built instead of markets.

You can also notice the vehicles stuck on the sides of the roads, many of them stuck because of a lack of fuel and the queues at the gas stations are long and never ending.

At the same time, the destruction affects even Turkish residents who also live in foreign countries.

One of them is Abdu, who lives in Germany and came back to the city of Adana in order to check and help his family members, whose house collapsed in the earthquake and whose lives were miraculously saved.

The extent of the destruction is revealed in the morning when the light rises and the teams manage to remove bodies from the island of ruins.

"I am very sad. I heard about the disaster and flew to Istanbul to get a car. I drove a whole day to get here. I really hope we hear good news and hope they last," said Abdo.

We will fix it!
