A British doctor said Turkish earthquake survivors face mental trauma -including a fear of their own homes and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – but have shown profound resilience and bravery despite what they have experienced.
Dr Asim Salim, who lives in Leeds and works in Barnsley as a consultant in emergency medicine, has travelled to Turkey twice with non-governmental organisation (NGO) Humanity First UK to help set up medical camps and tend to survivors suffering from injuries and battling with their mental health.
