Inconsolable in his grief, Melbourne man Muhammed Velipasaoglu recounted how he learned that several of his family members were killed in the disastrous earthquake that struck Türkiye and Syria.
"I've lost at least five of my relatives. My brother-in-law and his wife have passed. My cousin and his wife also passed away," he told the ABC.
"My nephew and kids are badly injured, but the wife sadly died as well."
