2023 in Review: What one city lost in Turkey’s earthquakes | The Take

As the year wraps up, we're looking back at ten of the episodes that defined our year at The Take. This originally aired on February 17. What happens when you can’t go home? The city of Antakya, one of Turkey’s cultural centers, was destroyed after the February 6 earthquake. Thousands were killed, and the city is no longer recognizable to many who called it home. Turkey’s government says rebuilding in the region is about to begin – but many residents are still trying to understand what they’ve lost.
