the survivors hit the road

A few days after the earthquake that shook Turkey, Agnès Vahramian, journalist, is in duplex from Adana (Turkey), to take stock of the humanitarian situation there. “Thousands of residents are leaving, some in the back of trucks. They are leaving because in some cities there is no more water, electricity and obviously no more shelters”she explains.

According to the journalist, “those who remain are those who still have a little hope or to recover the bodies of their loved ones. This is also a problem, there are no longer enough funeral trucks to take the dead away”. She says that some leave in car trunks to be buried as soon as possible, according to Muslim tradition. According to Agnès Vahramian, a number of cities could soon become “ghosts”.
