DİYARBAKIR - Stating that there is no state, the earthquake victims in Hatay's Antakya district said: "Our bodies are held on the street, there is not even a funeral transport vehicle."
 
Earthquake victims and volunteers spoke to journalist İrfan Uçar's camera from Hatay's Antakya district, which was destroyed by earthquakes of magnitude 7.7 and 7.6 that occurred in Maraş, and talked about the desperation that ensued.
 
'NO STATE, FUNERALS ARE ON THE GROUND'
 
Earthquake victims who lost her relatives saids: “It is buried in the ground, including the last two floors of the 5-storey building. No one, including AFAD, was on the first day. Nobody helped. If it weren't for this brother, I would not have reached the death of my family. Until this point, there was no one here. Thanks to the volunteers of the teams, we got our funerals. The pain we went through is so big. There are at least dozens of dead in every house. No state, no one. We did not have a helper, except for the volunteers, everyone should hear it.
 
I KNOW IT WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED
 
I know it will not be published, but if you publish this, let them see the truth, we have been waiting for days at the beginning of our deaths at minus 3 degrees. Look, check, my father is lying on the ground. There isn't even a funeral transport vehicle. Our dead lie in the street. Even countries that are currently at war are not worse than us. If Hatay is a city of the state, where is this state?  We buried 6 people from one family, my brothers died screaming there. They died screaming… I have nothing to say.”
