Rescuers from the Mountain Rescue Service (GSS) of Novi Grad Sarajevo came to help the distressed population of Turkey, which was hit by the catastrophic earthquakes on Monday.
Upon arrival in Hatay, one of the most devastated cities, they were met with a real disaster.
They arrived in Hatay the night before, and yesterday the rescuers of the GSS Novi Grad found and managed to pull out a 70-year-old man from under the ruins.
”This ruin you see behind us. We are currently dealing with unearthing and, unfortunately, dead people. One team moves to one location where there are living people,” the head of GSS Novi Grad, Fahrudin Dobraca, said.
As Dobraca said, the worst thing is that the ground is constantly shaking.
”We often have to run away from the ruins. There are thousands of dead here. We saved this elderly man in the last moments,” he added.
