AWAKENED BY SOUNDS FROM THE GROUND

Fatma Çıdık, who lives in the shanty on Çiftlik Street in Yeni Mahalle, was awakened by sounds coming from the ground during the night. Seeing that the ground in her room had collapsed, Fatma Çıdık did not report it because she did not want to leave her home.

Her neighbors reported the situation to the police, stating that the house was not safe. Police and municipal teams who arrived at the scene conducted inspections in the house.
