A 17-year-old Turkish Cypriot girl who was in Turkey for medical reasons when the earthquake happened on Monday has described her experience during and after the earthquake.

Ayten Hamzaoğulları, who is in Hatay for health purposes said, stated that they managed to go down from the seventh floor, and when we got down, the street was full of debris, people were screaming for help under the ground, but we couldn't help. 

We went to the main street, it was raining constantly and it was very cold. We waited with people on the main street until the morning. We helped keep the fire burning. We walked 6 kilometers. There were people constantly asking for help, but it was not possible to help. We went to the bus station, everyone was on the street. He was trying to warm up. There's a lot of debris in the area and construction equipment is needed. Food and clothing assistance is needed because the weather is very cold and it rains all the time. Please help me."
