MARAŞ - Search and rescue efforts are progressing very slowly in the Elbistan district of Maraş, where the heaviest destruction was experienced by the earthquake. Those who managed to stay alive in the district said: “Our bodies should be pulled out of the rubble. We want tents, but the state does not even bring a piece of cloth.” 
 
Search and rescue efforts are progressing very slowly in the Elbistan district of Maraş, where the heaviest destruction was experienced in the earthquake. Citizens waking up at the head of the wreckage are waiting for good news from their relatives. Citizens, who condemned the new start and slow operation of the rescue efforts. The citizen said that the state should get our dead out of rubble and give them to us."
 
'WE WANT OUR DEAD'
 
Neriman Yüksek, one of the women who came out of the rubble in the earthquake, revolted and said: "We want our dead. We are in a very difficult situation, we do not want to eat, we want them to take care of us. Our relatives are still under the rubble, our relatives are still there and we are waiting helplessly. There are people under the rubble, but no one cares. We are in a very difficult situation, hear us. There are only volunteers here, the state is not here. An ambulance came yesterday, I asked where they were coming from, he said it was a volunteer team. In other words, we did not see the state here even once."
 
'NO TENT, NO STATE, NO EXPLANATION'
 
Boran Varlık, who survived with injuries from the rubble, rebelled and said: "Get people out of the rubble now. There was an earthquake, the buildings were destroyed, we called the teams and no one came. While we were trying to save someone from the rubble, we got stuck. A fire broke out under the rubble, we called the fire brigade, but no one came. We talked to a boy who was under the rubble for three days, but because no one came, he died and today they harvested his limbs. People are dying and no one is making a move. Human limbs have been removed for two days, no one knows who or what. We wait hungry, but all we want is for them to pull these people out from under the rubble. There is no tent, no state, no explanation.”
