Times graphics reporters Anjali Singhvi and Bedel Saget recently traveled to Antakya, a Turkish city badly damaged by February’s earthquakes.

I spoke with Anjali and Bedel about what they saw in Antakya.

Bedel: I had in my mind what the destruction would look like, but when you’re driving around and seeing residential building after residential building flattened, it stops you in your tracks.

Bedel: Quite a number of people left if they had the means to: Either they had family in other parts of Turkey or if they had homes elsewhere.

Bedel joined The Times in 1991, and has covered hurricanes, wildfires and nine Olympic Games.
