10 Feb 2023; MEMO: The presence of mind of a 19-year-old girl saved her entire family from getting trapped under the rubble of their house when two deadly earthquakes struck southern Turkiye, Anadolu News Agency reports.
Umit Aslanoglu got out of her bed when her dog started barking incessantly.
Just as she felt the first tremors, she woke up her brother, mother and aunt, who all lived with her in Antakya, a district in one of the worst hit provinces, Hatay.
