Survivors From Türkiye’s February 6th Quakes Retell That Tragic Day

The tremors left deep scars on the region’s landscape, and psychological wounds that are only starting to heal. In this special edition of Strait Talk from Kahramanmaras, we visit the epi-centre of last year’s deadly earthquakes to hear from the people who experienced it first hand, and how they are coping, one year on.
