Belfast community rallies to support Turkish man who lost family members in earthquake

Friends of a Turkish man living in North Belfast have come together to support him as he mourns the loss of close family members in the Turkey-Syria earthquake.

Mustafa Gunay, 48, from Ballysillan lost his sister, her husband and their three children when the earthquake hit their home city of Antakya in Hatay province in the early hours of Monday 6 February.
