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.

Now Turkey has wound down search and rescue efforts, families are turning to hospitals and mass graves in search for loved ones still missing after Turkey's earthquakes.
