The Telegraph's foreign correspondent Nataliya Vasilyeva interviewed Baris Yapar, a 27-year-old psychology major whose family is living on the street after the devastating earthquake in Turkey.
For seven days straight, he and his parents were sleeping in his father’s SUV just a few metres away from his home.Their family home, with a Mediterranean-style balcony lined with potted plants, is too dangerous to stay in.
Baris Yapar waited for four days for help digging his grandparents' corpses from underneath the building that collapsed on top of them during the Turkish earthquake.
When no help arrived, his family resorted to hiring private construction workers, desperate to restore some dignity in death to their beloved family members.
Swathes of south-eastern Turkey and north-western Syria were hit by the earthquake last Tuesday that killed at least 40,000 people and uprooted millions.
