"We're sleeping here, it is fine for now. It's better than staying outside. A lot of people got sick outside. I have not traveled by train before. We came here for the first time. This is our home. It is hard to live here but it is still better than living outside."
'I DON'T FEEL THE FEAR I HAD BACK AT HOME"
Yılmaz Cücük, who also stays on the train with his wife, daughter, and grandchildren, said they lived outside for two days after the earthquakes and that they came to stay on the train three days after the trembles.
The train, he said, is safer than their home now. "At least we do not feel the fear we had back at home."
Cücük said local authorities provide food and serve dinner in the evening.
He also said they "have become family" with the people they have just met on the train.
More than 45,000 people have been killed in the two quakes that shook Türkiye on Feb. 6, according to officials.
The strong tremors, which were centered in Kahramanmaraş province, have affected about 13.5 million people across 10 other provinces: Hatay, Gaziantep, Adıyaman, Malatya, Adana, Diyarbakır, Kilis, Osmaniye, Şanlıurfa, and Elazığ.
