The fearful wait of the 78-year-old woman! He is even afraid to hang the laundry: If there was an earthquake, I would be buried under him.

The incident took place in Salcı Street, Akıncılar District, Güngören district. Allegedly, damage occurred to the building where Gülsüm Özdemir lived during the demolition of the adjacent apartment building within the scope of urban transformation works.

Stating that the walls in the living room of his house were cracked and a part of his balcony collapsed, Özdemir said that he was afraid of the building being damaged and being buried under rubble in a possible earthquake.

"IF AN EARTHQUAKE HAPPENED, I'M AFRAID THAT I'D GET UNDER IT"

Explaining that she is 78 years old and lives alone, Gülsüm Özdemir stated that she could not rent another house due to financial difficulties. Özdemir stated that his children do not have the financial means to move him to another house and that it is not possible for him to live with his children.

Explaining the fear he experienced, Özdemir said, "I was very damaged because there was destruction next door. The wall cracked as it was. I cannot rent another house because I do not have the power. I am afraid, if there is an earthquake, I will be trapped under it. My children do not have the strength to rent me. I cannot live with them either."

"IF THE BUILDING IS DESTROYED, THEY SHOULD NOT SAY WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT"

Stating that he had no peace after the damage to his house, Özdemir asked the authorities to come to the building, inspect it and take the necessary precautions.

Addressing the authorities, Özdemir said, "The authorities should come and see and detect it. If the building collapses, they should not say 'We were not aware of it'. I want precautions to be taken. I have been very disturbed since that place was demolished."

HE CANNOT USE HIS BALCONY, HE IS AFRAID TO EVEN HANG THE LAUNDRY.

Explaining that he could not use his balcony due to the collapse of a part of it, Özdemir said that he had difficulty in continuing his daily life. Stating that she is afraid of losing her balance and falling due to her age, Özdemir said, "I cannot go out to the balcony, I cannot hang the laundry. Since I am an old woman, I am afraid that I will get dizzy and fall down."

78-year-old Gülsüm Özdemir, who lives alone, expects the damage to her house to be examined by expert teams, to determine whether the building is safe, and to take the necessary precautions against possible dangers without delay.
