Jindires -
One year has passed since the devastating earthquake that struck northwestern Syria and Turkey during the early hours of dawn on February 6, 2023, which left 10,024 Syrian victims, including 5,439 refugees in Turkey, and more than 25,000 injured.
Many families returned to live in their destroyed homes after being unable to secure alternative housing, while others resorted to building a tent on top of the rubble of their homes.
We met the 12-year-old girl, Maryam, who suffers from “mass syndrome.” She talked about her attachment to her studies despite her suffering from the remnants of her injury as a result of the earthquake. She said, “I do not want to lose an academic year of my life, as I am able to go to school on crutches.”
