Photographer Darian Traynor visits Noordagi, Turkey, after the devastating earthquake. Walking around the ruined city and in the camps Darien was humbled by the people and their response to his presence. Made to feel welcome even with the prying lens of his camera and offered food and drink to anyone he met. The people only asked that they were not forgotten. Türkiye suffered a devastating blow but the generosity and enthusiasm of the people of Nurdağı have not been crushed by the earthquake.

He is rescued and sent to a hospital where his physical and emotional recovery can begin. The couple lived in a car in front of their house for 10 days before donating the tent. Credit:Darian Traynor
