Dilan: "Every now and then we get the feeling that the floor is shaking"
23 years old

“There are five of us: my mum, my dad, my two siblings and me. I was a cleaner at a hospital on the outskirts of the city. My house is just over there [30 metres away], but now we’re staying in this camp with other families from the neighbourhood. The house is completely destroyed.

First we started to collect things we needed, then three days ago we moved in here. An organisation gave us this tent. All we want is to have a normal life again: to eat well, live in a warm place…

We don’t have any plans to move. We wouldn’t know where to go because we have always lived in Adiyaman. What can we do? This is our place, our life.

Now we spend our days not doing much: standing around, looking… and it’s very cold. Every now and then we get the feeling that the floor is shaking.”
