Naser al-Wakaa kept his family safe through years of war, bombings and air raids until Monday's earthquake struck their home in Jandaris in northwest Syria, levelling the building and burying his wife and most of his family under the masonry.
Rescuers pulled two of his children alive from the rubble at night. Video showed them bruised and covered in dust. Another child also survived. But his wife and at least five of his children were killed.
