A relative of victims of the earthquake in Turkey that has lost 10 family members and is missing two more, has spoken of her anguish as she awaits news on the unfolding incident, Surrey Live reports. Kadriye Karakas, from Epsom, has been glued to the news for days as she hopes and prays for good news.
A man's voice has been heard calling out for help from beneath the rubble six days after the earthquake hit Adiyaman, with the TV cameras showing the wreckage of the building that Kadriye's cousin and seven-year-old son lived in. She says that she awakes at 4am every morning "almost like a built-in warning alarm", but with thousands of miles between her and her family, Kadriye feels helpless.
"They are showing the building my cousin and his seven-year-old son are in and they have heard a man’s voice right now. There is a team digging and I don’t know how to describe it. I feel quite far away but also really close.
