Semra Karaca, Sultan Kodaş, Hüseyin Kodaş and Şengül Kodaş (from left to right) live together as a family in Ören village, on the outskirsts of Malatya, Türkiye. They have been greatly affected by the recent earthquakes, as well as heavy flooding in the region.
“There are earthquakes on the one hand and rain on the other. We don’t know what will happen in the future. I’m here with my wife, my siblings, my children, and my mother.
Our belongings are drowned in water because of the flood, we can’t find anything to wear, the neighbour brought us these clothes for now. We were staying in a tent, but the tent got flooded too.
We are now trying to dry what we took out of the house, including our family photos.
The children are scared. The situation is very dire”, says Hüseyin Kodaş.
