More than 50,000 people have died and millions more displaced. But its effects have been felt in a region that has already experienced years of discrimination under President Erdoğan.
Kurds are the biggest ethnic minority in Turkey, making up 15-20% of the population, but have had an increasingly fractured and marginalised relationship with the government. After decades of violence, it could be their vote that seals Erdoğan’s political fate.
The Guardian's video team joined Yeter Erel Tuma who works with children living in a Kurdish majority province. She has witnessed the civil unrest impacting families here, and now volunteers bringing aid to those devastated by the earthquakes.
