Tugba Akyuz and her family rushed to check on her brother, Mustafa Batuhan Gulec, on the morning a year ago when a massive earthquake struck southern Turkey, only to find the ruins of his apartment's collapsed five-storey building. A year later - on the anniversary of the deadliest disaster in Turkey's modern history - they are still searching for him. "If he were alive, he'd find us," Akyuz said in her home in Iskenderun, a Mediterranean port city in Hatay province.
