Tragedy in Turkey: Brothers hit by landslide after being moved to a 'safe' place

A heavy disaster struck the Hatay province in Turkey following stormy weather that led to destructive floods and landslides. According to reports by İhlas Haber Ajansı, the tragic incident occurred when a house in the city of Antakya collapsed under the weight of the landslide.

The difficult details of the incident were revealed by Haber Gündem, who reported that the family's 15-year-old son, Abdulhannan al-Muhammad, was killed as a result of the structure's collapse. His brother, Abduljalil Celik al-Muhammad, was seriously injured and is currently defined as being in a 'fight for his life' in the intensive care unit.

The bereaved mother described the extent of the pain and the bitter irony of the situation. As noted in İhlas Haber Ajansı, she had moved her children to her daughter's house under the mistaken assumption that it was a safer place for them during the storm. Speaking to the media, the mother summarized the disaster: "I have one victim, and another son fighting for his life."

These sources, which are identified with general news coverage in Turkey, emphasize the human aspect and the family pain following the natural disasters that struck the region.
