People gather outdoors following an earthquake shock

"Their treatments are ongoing in hospitals, and they are not in life-threatening condition."

"We shook incredibly. It threw us around, we couldn't understand what was happening, we didn't think of an earthquake at first because of the shock of the event," she said. "It was very scary."

"Of course, we were scared during the earthquake. We were worried that it would continue. Since the (great) Istanbul earthquake is (still) an expected earthquake, our concerns continue."

"At first we were shaken, then it stopped, then we were shaken again. My children were a little scared, but I wasn't. We quickly gathered our things and went down to a safe place. If it were up to me, we would have already returned home."
