Several Filipinos are missing and their situation still undetermined after a magnitude 7.8 earthquake in Türkiye leveled residential buildings across 10 provinces and left thousands of people dead.
Weng Timoteo, vice president of a Filipino community in Türkiye, said in the interview that three Filipino women and their children are still missing. “Ang problem kasi winter time dito. ‘Yung naka add din sa misery ng mga naapektuhan ng lindol kasi di rin sila basta ma-reach given the fact na hindi nga madaanan yung mga daan tapos napakalamig pa, sumabay pa yung yelo ,” Timoteo said.
Displaced individuals are trying to find refuge inside their cars or in makeshift tents. These included a Filipino woman, Caroline Celiz, who is staying inside their car with her husband. Around 13.5 million people were affected by the quake that was mostly felt in 10 provinces, he said. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced from their homes.
