    SENSITIVE MATERIAL. THIS IMAGE MAY OFFEND OR DISTURB Abdulalim Muaini lies under the rubble next to the body of his wife Esra, in the aftermath of a deadly earthquake in Hatay, Turkey, February 8, 2023. In the photo, Muaini peers out from under a large slab of concrete and brick. His legs are trapped, but he is conscious and later he was rescued. Near him lies his wife Esra. The rescue had come too late for her, and for the couple's two daughters. More than 50,000 people are estimated by the U.N. to have lost their lives in the disaster, including some of photographer Umit Bektas' own friends. REUTERS/Umit Bektas/ File photo
