Songul Yucesoy cautiously washes her dishes, soaping the plates and cutlery prior to flushing off the air pockets and spreading them out to dry. An unexceptional scene, with the exception of she's outside, sitting in the shadow of her demolished house.
It slants at a disturbing point, the window outlines are draping out and there's a huge lump of the corroded iron rooftop presently resting in the nursery.
It is a month since the staggering tremors in Turkey and Syria - with authorities placing the quantity of passings in Turkey alone at 45,968. In Syria, more than 6,000 are known to have lost their lives.
The individuals who endure face an unsure future. One of their most difficult issues is seeing as some place protected to reside. No less than 1.5 million individuals are currently destitute, and it's muddled the way that long it will take to track down them appropriate asylum.
The Turkish debacle organization Afad, in the interim, says very nearly 2,000,000 individuals have now left the tremor zone. Some are living with companions or friends and family somewhere else in the country. Flights and trains out of the district are free to the people who need to leave.
Yet, in the town of Samandag, close to the Mediterranean coast, Songul is evident that she and her family are staying put. "This is vital as far as we're concerned. Whatever occurs straightaway - regardless of whether the house tumbles down - we will remain here. This is our home, our home. All that we have is here. We won't leave."

The dangerous tremor annihilated properties in the district, leaving large number of families destitute
Tents have showed up wherever in Samandag, from rambling new settlements to individual ones specked in the midst of the rubble
Tents have showed up wherever in the town of Samandag, however more are required
Valuable household items have been painstakingly pulled from the house and set up outside. On top of a finished wooden side table is an occasion gift, an image made of shells from the Turkish retreat of Kusadasi. There's a bowl of natural product, with white form crawling across a huge orange. Things that look typical inside feel unusual and awkward while they're sitting in the road.
At the present time, the entire family is residing in three tents only a couple of steps from their harmed home. They rest and eat there, sharing food prepared on a little setting up camp oven. There could be no legitimate latrine, in spite of the fact that they've recuperated one from the washroom and are attempting to plumb it in a shoddy wooden shed. They've even made a little shower region. In any case, it's all extremely essential, and the absence of room and security is self-evident. These tents are confined and stuffed.
It's been a horrifying month for Songul. Seventeen of their family members were killed in the shake. Her sister Tulay is formally absent. "We couldn't say whether she is still under the rubble," she tells me. "We don't know regardless of whether her body was taken out yet. We're pausing. We can't begin grieving. We couldn't actually view as our lost one."

Songul's brother by marriage Husemettin and 11-year-old nephew Lozan kicked the bucket when their apartment complex in Iskenderun fell around them as they dozed. We visited what was left of their home, a rambling heap of turned trash. Neighbors let us know three blocks of pads had fallen.
"We brought Lozan's body here," Songul says discreetly. "We took him from the funeral home and covered him near us in Samandag. Husemettin was covered in the burial ground of the mysterious, we tracked down his name there."
An image of the family grins out of Tulay's still-dynamic Facebook profile, their arms around one another, faces close. Lozan holds a red inflatable firmly.
What occurs after you endure a quake?
For 5 Minutes On - the BBC's Center East reporter, Anna Encourage, thinks about the pulverization she saw in southern Turkey and how different pieces of the nation dread further dangerous seismic tremors.
The vagrancy emergency made by the tremor is so intense in view of the genuine lack of places of refuge that are left standing. In excess of 160,000 structures fell or were severely harmed. The Assembled Countries Advancement Program (UNDP) gauges something like 1.5 million individuals are still inside the shake zone, however with no place to reside. It's difficult to know the genuine figure, and it very well may be far higher.
Concentrate on lodges are showing up, yet too leisurely. Tents have showed up all over, from rambling new settlements to individual ones spotted in the midst of the rubble. There actually aren't sufficient. News that the Turkish Red Sickle had sold a portion of its load of citizen financed tents to a foundation bunch - yet at cost - prompted disappointment and outrage.
In certain urban communities, individuals are as yet living inside open structures.
Songul Yucesoy (focus) is presently destitute, and eats close by a tent
Families are sharing tents together, weeks after the catastrophe
In Adana, I met families dozing on covers and sleeping cushions spread across a volleyball court. In the port city of Iskenderun they have made their home on two trains stopped at the rail route station. Seats have become beds, gear racks are loaded up with individual belongings and the staff there make a solid attempt to keep things perfect and clean. Tears fill the eyes of one little kid as she embraces a cushion rather than a teddy bear. This isn't home.
Songul's youngsters are battling, as well. Toys and games are stuck inside hazardous houses, and there's no school. "They're exhausted, all in all nothing remains to be kept them occupied. They simply lounge around. They play with their telephones, then hit the hay early once they run out of charge."
At the point when dusks, things are significantly more diligently. There's no power in Samandag now. Songul has hung vivid sunlight based lights across their white tent, simply over the intense UNHCR logo. Destitute in their own nation, they're not displaced people, but rather they've actually lost everything.
Songul Yucesoy in tears
Songul says her family presently live in dread, with delayed repercussions frequently keeping them conscious short-term
"I put the lights here to be seen," Songul makes sense of. "We're terrified when it gets dull. Having no power is a major issue. The trepidation is too enormous, and the entire night we feel the delayed repercussions, so it's difficult to rest." Beginning to cry, she wipes away the tears with her hand.
"We are free individuals, we are utilized to opportunity, autonomy, everybody residing in their own homes," adds her better half, Savas. "Yet, presently we are three families, eating in one tent, living and sitting in one single tent."
"This is all new to us, we don't have the foggiest idea what's on the horizon. Furthermore, there's consistently the apprehension. Our homes have fallen, what will occur straightaway? We simply don't have the foggiest idea.
