Cansel Dogruel (R), whose house was destroyed in the earthquake, poses for a photograph with her daughter as she lives in a tent with her spouse and child near a bus station in Hatay, a city which suffered the most damage in the earthquakes that occurred in southern Turkey, on May 12, 2023. The damage inflicted by the 7.8-magnitude tremor that struck southeastern Turkey on February 6 has left much of Antakya unrecognisable. In a city with a rich past and seen as a cradle of civilisation, row upon row of dilapidated buildings, long emptied of their inhabitants, pile up to give Antakya the air of a ghost town. Some 167 containers have been transported to Antakya and the surrounding area in Hatay province in recent days to provide polling booths for tens of thousands of voters, with many schools usually used as polling centres damaged or destroyed.
