A prison staff member in Kahramanmaraş hosted a mother and her children, who were stranded after a traffic accident, in his home to keep them warm. Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç also made a statement regarding the matter.

I thank our personnel who beautifully demonstrate the compassionate face of our state and touch hearts with their exemplary behavior, and I extend my best wishes to the family involved in the traffic accident."
SPLIT SOCIAL MEDIA
This action by the prison staff was appreciated by some while being harshly criticized by others. Some of the comments made under the post were as follows:
- What was the purpose of taking the photo?
- Isn't it surprising?
- It falls apart no matter how you hold it.
- If I put it in a full place, it won't take it; if I put it in an empty place, it won't fill up. I can't understand how this situation is resolved.
- Seeing people who stoop so low as to criticize a humane act of helping those stranded, opening their homes, and supporting small children afraid of accidents in Anatolian culture makes one lose faith...
- I didn't understand the reason for the photo.
