Turkish correspondent Mitra Nazar has been reporting the earthquake disaster in Turkey and Syria in the early hours of February 6 almost non-stop for a month. A few days after the earthquake, he decided to keep a small audio diary on his phone to process what he saw and experienced. In this podcast, he quotes that diary and talks about the images that will accompany it forever, the questions, fears and anxieties facing everyone in Turkey, including this natural disaster itself.
Mitra returned to Istanbul this weekend with her husband and daughter after another intense journey in the disaster area. She says the rest of the people live in ghost towns and are still in complete shock exactly one month later.
