A house sits amid the rubble of crumbled walls and ceilings caused by one of the earthquakes aftershocks last Wednesday in Adana, Turkey. Several students at Palo Alto High School say they believe that the Turkish government could have improved and enforced building codes towards preventing the severe, long-term damage of the natural disaster. One student in particular is junior Sarp Kendirli, who said it has been hard for him to watch his homeland suffer from the effects of the seismic activity. “Watching it on the news, seeing it on the television, it’s hard seeing the people of my country suffer in such devastating circumstances,” Kendirli said. “But what hurts more is the mismanagement that has been seen throughout this event by the government that has led to the most loss of lives. The disorganized response has left many under rubble for days throughout the cold, below-freezing nights that Turkey has right now.” (Photo: Source name withheld, via Sarp Kendirli)
