A video from Turkey has been going viral on the Internet in the aftermath of the terrible earthquake that shook the country and neighbouring Syria.
A 19-year-old boy, identified as Gurkan Ozturk by Anadolou Agency, is seen lying down on a stretcher, just after he is pulled from the rubble. He tells the medical personnel, "Everything collapsed and I thought we are ruined because there are only five months left to the YKS,” referring to the Turkish university entrance exam.
Ozturk was rescued from the debris of a collapsed building.
“I feel so sad that all my books are gone. Also, all my clothes, forget about them, but I only need my books,” he says. The emergency staff replies: “Just tell me which books you want and I will pile all of them up here.”
Ozturk says “I am sending you a half-heart,” making a half heart shape with his right hand. He then lists the books he needs.
The emergency staff says: “Dear friends, I am announcing that 19-year-old Gurkan, who broke a record for surviving under the rubble, is preparing for the university entrance exam. He seeks support to get test prep books.”
Another emergency staff asks Ozturk: “When will you start studying?”
“As soon as I am discharged, there is not much time left for the exam,” he replies.
