Hungry and cold, survivors storm aid trucks in #Atalar. In Turkish village flattened by quake, ‘no tents, no shelter, only cars to sleep in’
More than 72 hours after the catastrophic quakes that ravaged southern Turkey, residents of #Atalar, a mountainous village west of #Gaziantep, are still waiting for aid to reach them, with only their cars to shelter them from the bitter cold.
“We have nowhere to go. It’s cold. We are freezing.” Shivering in a puffer jacket, a shawl wrapped around her head, a woman sits on a pile of a gravel, quietly sobbing. The mountain of rubble at her feet points to where her home once stood.
Cold and destroyed homes combined with the corrupt Turkish government is a receipt for disaster. #Erdogan's regime is focusing on big cities where the world eyes are looking and ignoring and letting people in rural areas to fight for survivor on their own.
This is a nightmare on top of another!
