The dream of 8-year-old Hazal Güner, who was rescued from the rubble of a building that collapsed in the earthquakes in Hatay on February 6, 2023, 72 hours after the disaster, and who became memorable for her response "No, I haven't been examined yet" to the question "Do you want water?" is coming true. The Mersin Governorship has promised to turn little Hazal's dream of seeing the 'Kaaba' into reality by sending the Güner family on Umrah.

I never thought I would settle in Tarsus. Here, both our government and the citizens supported us; it didn't feel like we were missing Hatay. We have gotten used to being here. My daughter had a wish; the governor uncle honored us by coming. May God bless him," she said.

"I AM VERY HAPPY, I AM VERY EXCITED"

Hazal Güner, who thanked the governor and his wife, also stated, "I am happy. It was my dream to see the Kaaba and pray. I constantly open and watch it. I am very excited. I really wanted this wish."
