What will I do in this harsh winter?"
Sixty-year-old Zine Yaşar, who lives alone in the village of Sarıtaş on the Yüksekova-Esendere road in Hakkari, lost her stable, which was her only source of income, due to the heaviest snowfall in the city in the last 10 years.
CRIED IN THE MIDST OF THE DEBRIS
Waking up to a loud noise in the morning, Aunt Zine was devastated by the scene she saw as she rushed outside. Seeing that her stable had collapsed in the freezing cold, Yaşar couldn't hold back her tears. Stating that her sheep were not in the stable by chance, Yaşar knelt in the debris and cried out.
"MY ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME WAS THE STABLE, AND IT COLLAPSED"
Living alone in the village, Zine Yaşar, with tears in her eyes, said, "I have no husband, my children are not with me. I was standing here alone with the faces of my sheep. My only source of income was this stable, and it collapsed on us. What will I do now in this snow and winter? I am waiting for a helping hand."
