Five days after the earthquake, six people from the same family were pulled alive from the racial masses in the Turkish city of Iskenderun.
In several places in Turkey that were plagued by the earthquake, some houses stand intact next to those that were completely destroyed.
- You see it in so many places and at the same time Turkey has problems with fraudulent construction and corruption in the construction industry.
So it must be something, says Samir Abu Eid.
Shop owner Mücahit Cevahir in the city of Gaziantep does not dare to enter his shop even though the building is standing there intact.
- We don't trust the building construction or anything, he says to SVT.
