A human drama has been unfolding in Turkey and Syria over the last five days following the deadly 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the two countries early on Monday (06/02) and killed over 16,000 people. The photos making the rounds on the internet show the struggle with time, the tragedy of the circumstance, and the suffering endured by those who were left behind or lost loved ones, reminding us that in the face of human suffering, there is no room for ideological concepts.
