York man tells of devastation in his home City in North Turkey
Ozcan Yildirim flew out soon after the Earthquake hit to try and rescue his family
A York man has told us about the devastation in Hatay in Turkey following Earthquakes there. Ozcan Yildirim flew to the North of the Country to help rescue his Mum and young nephews. He has been helping get them to safety, been delivering aid but has also been burying members of his extended family who died in the disaster. He's told us: "I'm ok and safe, but here it is devastating, it's so sad, I feel it in the bottom of my heart because I was born and raised in this City.
"My family are ok at the moment, because I sent them to a different City and I'm planning to go to the UK soon because still Earthquakes are happening. My wider family, a few more cousins have died, we took them from under the rubble and we buried them. I can't wait to go back to the UK because it's scary still, anytime an Earthquake can happen and the rest of the buildings have started collapsing. It's all I can say right now."
