THE UPSETTING REALITY OF THE EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTHERN TÜRKIYE ONE YEAR LATER
Ойын-сауық
This is a documentary film of us seeing first hand the upsetting reality of the devastating earthquake that hit Southern Türkiye one year later.
In 2020 we stayed in Hatay and filmed the remarkable vibrant city of Antakya.
On February 6th 2023 a devastating earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 hit the area in the early hours. The destruction and loss of life was catastrophic as the world could only look on in horror.
A year after the earthquake we returned to find out how this region is and how those who remained are coping to rebuild their lives.
We also met up with the founder, Mehmet Ali Gümüş who also works as a lawyer, of Buradayiz Hatay to explain how the non profit charity they set up is helping the people of Hatay.
The film compares to our video from 3 years ago with how it is today. PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO!
To donate to the none profit Buradayız Hatay Organisation/Charity please

Every donation or sponsorship received goes directly to help the people of Hatay.
The world has not forgotten you....

Wow. This is such a great and powerful film. It is a great tribute to the Turkish people who are some of the most hospitable and genuine I have ever met. This is the favourite KZread channel of my wife and I. We were just talking about this being a BBC standard documentary film. Such a brilliant job from you both. Thank you.

That lady who has lost a bunch of her family members 😢 heartbreaking 😢 May God give her strength ❤
Welcome. I lost my house in the earthquake, but it is more important that my family and I are alive. If you don't have a family, it doesn't matter if you have a home.

12 months on and still no easier watching, still very upsetting. The Turkish people are so resilient. God bless them.
You are more Turkish, more researcher than Turkish journalists. Thank you very much.

the both of you are very courageous for making this film god bless you both and all turkish people
Watching from Australia, love your videos and your love for my motherland and its people. Much respect to you both.
You've done, again, a wonderful and informative job. Thank you for your efforts, thoughts, well wishes and support. It's such an experience to follow your updates. People of Hatay and the neighbouring cities affected by the earthquake will overcome it with the grievances embedded deep in their hearts but the important thing is to be able to take the lessons out of this disaster and don't let an earthquake turn into a disaster again. As always you're amazing....

Best Trudie and Mick, It is incredible, astonishing, wordless, incomprehensible. It looks like an atomic bomb has been dropped in the HATAY/ANTAKYA area. Tears flow from my cheeks watching this video, it tears my heart apart, there are no words to describe such hell. More than 50,000 dead, it is indescribable, even more injured and then all those houses, apartment blocks and much more that have collapsed. I hope that the soul in the area of HATAY/ANTAKYA can return to the way it was. I wish everyone all the best ! ! !

This video gave me chills. Sober reminder of how vulnerable is human race and yet we are waging war and dirty politics for oil, supremacy and hedgmony, forgetting it only takes a fraction of second to change everything. Thanks for showing us before and after images. I always watch your videos and both of you are doing great job. Thanks 🇵🇰
Dear Mick, Thank you for solidarity and such a video about devastating results of Earthquake which we had to face on february 6,2023 🙏🥺Unfortunately we have left all of our memories under the rubble of demolished Buildings.The historical capital of civilisations and religions the holy place which is called the Antakia have been faced similar catashtropic Earthquakes in A.D 115 (250.000 deads) and A.D 526 (260.000 deads) in the history 😢
WOW... just wow... what a fantastic film this should be put into the mainstream media .

Watching you from New York and I believe your videos are much better and informative than Turkish programs, that they trying to show cities in Turkey. I have been in Hatay few years back and fall in love with it, but now so sad to see the city's devastation in your video. Thank you so much for another educational video showing the devastation around Hatay. I believe the people, the city and the region will be coming to their glorious days soon. Thank you.
This might be the best video you've made Mick. It must be very eerie to revisit some of those sites and see them destroyed. But Turkish people are very strong. Thanks for showing us the locals. When I go to Turkiye I would like to visit the area and help in some small way.
Even hearing his name makes me cry.I love you Antakya.Thank you Mick and Trudie 🙏❤️
Oh boy! made me cry all the way thru the video. Never ever felt this sad before.
We love you guys ❤ We are very happy that you guys decided to live in Turkey ❤ You are sharing happiness and saddnes with us.
I will never complain again. How humbling. Keep reminding us. Teşekkür ederim.😢❤
You made me cry, then gave me hope. Life goes on and on until it doesn't . We live for the days that it goes on. Turkish peopely are strong and proud and will go on and on. I am glad you featured a way to dontate and help. Thank you!!!
i’ve watched all your videos, never have a cried so hard over a security guard that i don’t even know. it’s super rare that i cry and this hit me differently. my thoughts and prayers are with her. genuinely.
Thank you for making this video, it really means a lot for us people from Hatay. It's nice to see that there are people who hasn't forgotten about us.
Thank you both. My wife's family lives in Hatay. We visited Antakya in September and it was a life changing experience.
Thank you for what have you done positive for humanity and devastated eathquake town antakya one of the most ancient towns of civilization. You two are more turkish than turks….
This video is an important, meaningful, commendable effort 🙏

my hometown, it makes me truly sad to see.
This is video is heartbreaking, so much devastation and loss of life but the resilience of the Turkish people shines through. We booked in winter 2022 to visit the SE, Antakya being our main historical town of interest, we would have been staying in the old town. Unfortunately we had to cancel the whole trip as we just couldn't face going after the devastation. Another year maybe Mardin, Sanliurfa and Gaziantep but it will take a long time for Antakya to get back on its feet.
I was so upset about hatices family that died 😢😢thanks for this lovely video mick amca
Thank you, Mic Amca! Me and my wife burst into tears as bad as the first time we heard this tragic event. Türkiye and the world should do more for these people and the restoration of that area. Thank you for this video. We must not forget about these people.

Wow Mick amca, this is so good documentary which we can't even see in our local news or discussed anymore as Turks forgets things very easily. This earthquake was so sad thousands of people lost their loved ones. Millions affected.😢 Thank you for your presentation. 🙏
Thank you for making this. The world had quickly forgotten in the Turkey earthquake quakes and I had been wondering
Thankyou Mick Amca for coming here.
Thank you Mick and Trudie for making this video. My family is from Antakya. Seeing you visit Hatay, exploring it thoroughly, meeting the locals and not forgetting us means a lot. Thank you again!! ♥
I have been there. I done fell sharing but I felt was not enough. I cried a lot. The reality is not enough until you see the Truth by yourself. Is a breathing hard time. I am so sorry for the beautiful Turkish people. Thank you for sharing.

Türkiye için yüz yılın felaketini yaşadık,çok üzgünüz.İnşallah bir daha yaşamayız..Sizler de deprem öncesi ve sonrası orada neler olduğunu bütün dünyaya gösterdiniz,ayaklarınıza ve emeklerinize sağlık.Sizleri tanıdığım için çok şanslıyım,iyi ki varsınız..
Seviliyorsunuz, Mick
Your hospitality makes me want to cry. How U are to us as tourists. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I dearly do so miss you all
Also the food in Turkiye is fantastic, such resilience in the face of adversity.
Thankyou Mick for showing the before and after of the devastation. You are a true person of this wonderful country. I moved here after 51 years. But it's hard to fit in even though we are Turkiye born. We are very worried about war, fires, more earthquakes, etc. We are at the mercy of what the globalists want. Hawaii fires, food factory fires in the USA, 100 fires lit spontaneously in 2021 in many European countries starting in Marmaris, Mugla. These fires are not accidents.
Hello Mick & Trudie, normally I smile when I watch your videos. Yet today with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes, for the loss of so many lives & all the historical places, including the Churches, Mosques & Syngogues. God willing I pray that all those affected are now safe & that things get back to normal very quickly. Ameen Sub Ameen.
Mick , Trudie , my wife and i were there a year before the quake and often wondered about so many of the places and people we meet whilst there for the few days ...very good to see the museum survived , an excellent museum so rich and well laid out ..the mosaic floor collection must be the best in the world and very good to see St .Peters church also survived ..we recognised the staff member who lost so many loved ones on that morning and later . The video really has to be award winning , covering every question one could have about Antakya be fore and after the quake , whilst being realistic and hopeful. We went to the monastery of Simeon Stylites the Younger near the Syrian border which was particularly rememberable , i have often thought how much more its ruins suffered particularly its pillar on that day ....We dont speak Turkish but you really were able to bring the warmth of the people out with your video .
