Hasan Koc, 58, and his late wife's mother Emine Karalioglu, 63, react in the hallway of Mersin hospital while his son Mehmet, 12, who was trapped in the rubble of a deadly earthquake, screams as nurses change the bandages on his amputated legs, in Mersin, Turkey, February 17, 2023. When a devastating earthquake struck Turkey in the early hours of Feb. 6, 2023, the five-storey building in Hatay where Mehmet lived collapsed, burying him in rubble and killing his older brother Emre, 14, and his mother Didem. Mehmet survived. But it took 76 hours before rescuers could pull him from the mound of concrete and twisted metal that remained of his home. Later in hospital, doctors determined that his legs were so badly crushed and injured, that both needed to be amputated just below the hip. REUTERS/Clodagh Kilcoyne
