'My wife and baby son are sleeping on the streets in Turkey'

A man is desperately fighting to get his family out of Turkey and to his home in Greater Manchester. The family, including his baby son, are being forced to ‘sleep on the street’ in disaster-struck Gaziantep as their house is crumbling following the major earthquakes and tremors.

“It’s my dad, mum, my wife, my two-month old son. We are Syrian refugees and we don’t have passports. My family is too scared to go back into their house, all the walls are cracked and crumbling,” Khaled Osman, who lives in Salford, told the Manchester Evening News.

“The aftershocks are still happening, shaking everything. They’re scared the house is going to come down. I’m so worried about them, everything is upside down over there.”
