KYOTO -- A black-and-white photograph shows a mother preparing breakfast in a tent. Another picture depicts two children playing outside a row of tents.
These are some of the images taken by Turkish children who survived the devastating earthquake that hit western and central provinces of the country in August 1999.
Although the Turkish government says the killer quake claimed about 17,000 lives, volunteer groups estimate the number exceeded 40,000. About 250,000 people are said to be still living in tents or prefabricated houses.
