Turkiye/ Syria Earthquake: Father seen holding on to Dead Daughter’s hand for hours.
Photos captured the heartbreaking moments of a father holding the hand of his 15-year-old daughter Irmak, who died in the devastating earthquakes in Kahramanmaras, Turkiye.
Irmak was still lying on her bed, and her father did not want to leave.
“He never left the hand of his daughter who died in the earthquake,” wrote Adem Atlan, the photographer with Agence France-Presse who took the pictures of the grieving father on Tuesday, in an Instagram story uploaded Wednesday. “Unbelievable pain,” he later wrote.
The death toll surpassed 20,000 from the deadly earthquakes across Turkiye and Syria. Rescuers and volunteers are still racing against time to save lives as the chances of finding survivors are diminishing in the freezing weather.
