Claim: Photos showing the scene of Turkey and Syria after the recent earthquake.
Fact-check: Old photos are shared linking them to the recent Turkey earthquake - FACTLY
Verdict: out of the four photos in the post, only two were taken after the earthquake that hit turkey and syria. the photo of a child crouching and holding his head with his hands among the debris of a building is an old stock photo which is available on shutterstock and adobe stock. the photographer of that picture clarified through her facebook, in which she mentioned that it was captured in ukraine. another photo which was not taken during the recent turkey earthquake is of a man holding bread while he wipes his tears. this was captured in 1999 during the turkey earthquake. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
