	ADIYAMAN - Rescue efforts were not initiated in Adıyaman, which was severely affected by the earthquake. In the city, where hundreds of people are under the rubble, the people are carrying out search and rescue efforts by their own means.

	 

	Rescue efforts were not initiated in Adıyaman, one of the cities where the earthquake's epicenter was in Pazarcık district of Maraş and Gaziantep. In the city, where hundreds of buildings were destroyed, the people continue their rescue efforts with their own means. While dozens of people were removed from the rubble during the day, it is stated that hundreds of people are still under the rubble. Rescue efforts carried out by the citizens with their own means throughout the day were stopped when it got dark and the rain started.

	 

	THERE IS NO RESCUE TEAM

	 

	Although hours have passed since the earthquake, it has been learned that not a single rescue team has come to the city so far, and many neighborhoods have not been entered yet due to the inadequacy of the municipal teams. In the city, the electricity is also out. In the city, where many telephone service providers do not have networks, the internet is also inaccessible. Citizens cannot reach food materials to meet their nutritional needs.

	 

	NO TENT, NO FUEL

	 

	In the city, where almost all the houses are damaged, the citizens who cannot enter their houses try to warm themselves with fires lit on the streets. In the city, where AFAD and Red Crescent teams do not visit, there is also the problem of tents and fuel.

	 

	While citizens in Cumhuriyet District gather at Hisar Wedding Hall, citizens are trying to save those who were under the rubble with their own means in the districts of Yenimahalle, Yeşilyurt, Kayalık, Turgutreis, Bahçelievler, Bahçecik, Mimar Sinan and Karapınar, where the greatest destruction took place. In the neighborhoods, the waiting of the citizens on the streets continues.

	 

	PEOPLE SEND MESSAGES FROM THE RUBBLE

	 

	Dozens of people are waiting to be rescued in the city where there are citizens sending messages to their relatives under the rubble. It is not known when work will begin in Adıyaman, which has been abandoned to its fate.

	 

	Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) MPs Abdullah Koç, Şevin Coşkun and Kemal Bülbül, who came to the city, continue their contacts with the citizens.
