Eerie images in Antioch were recorded by SKAI correspondent Manolis Kostidis in his today’s travelogue.
The human mind cannot grasp the magnitude of the tragedy in Turkey and Syria after the devastating earthquakes.
Eerie images in Antioch he recorded SKAI correspondent Manolis Kostidis on his current journey.
The devastation is enormous, as is the despair of the survivors.
Even now, residents are begging for rescue help as they claim their loved ones are trapped in the rubble and showing signs of life.
Antioch has been leveled.
Those who managed to live with tears in their eyes lead Manolis Kostidis to the ruins of the apartment building, where until a little while ago they heard voices.
Where they themselves dig with their hands to find their people.
Citizens are talking about people alive in the ruins that no one is coming to rescue.
“We as people are trying to do something but unfortunately. We hear a sound but no one can enter because it is too dangerous”
They emphasize that they hear voices from places where there used to be bedrooms.
“We’ve been trying to get in for 6 days. We hear voices here but they tell us they can’t get in, it’s dangerous.”
The effort to rescue the trapped is not an easy task as at any moment the half-collapsed buildings can fall “like playing cards”.
One of the demolished buildings is a supermarket that was housed on one floor.
It is estimated that there are chances that there are survivors in the ruins, but unfortunately there is no help for their rescue.
that there is a high chance that someone will survive in here but unfortunately we have no help they say.
A few meters further, the absolute destruction. A specific part of Antioch is as if dozens of bombs have fallen, like a war zone.
Some are looking for hope.
A private hospital was also destroyed, with some saying they brought their baby here. Unfortunately, the father is in the wreckage, the work continues but the hopes are now nil.
People are slowly realizing that the rescue crews will not be able to do anything, and for this reason they are now asking for at least the necessary things to be done in order to carry out the funerals of their relatives.
The image that one will now remember from Antioch is an image of destruction as well as the attempt to rebuild it.
As the city has now been completely destroyed, and what remains of the trek is that after the point where the epicenter of the deadly earthquake is located, that is exactly where the biggest problems are focused.
It will take a long time for him to get back on his feet
In the images recorded by Manolis Kostidis with Antonis Misirlis, the unbearable pain and absolute destruction are captured.
As the hours tick by the chances of survivors dwindle and the death toll rises dramatically.
