CHICAGO — Just hours after he learned about the devastating Feb. 6 earthquake in Turkey and Syria, Tarek Kabbany was on social media around 3 a.m. and saw a picture of his younger sister’s apartment building in southern Turkey destroyed.
By 6 a.m., he received word that his sister and her three kids were missing. At 11 a.m., the Chicago-based doctor was on a flight to Turkey.
“I went right away,” Kabbany said. “I got there Tuesday night, and you know, the minute you enter the city, you can see it’s like a city of death. Really, it’s unbelievable. You will not imagine you can see something like this in your whole life.”
