Published on Oct 25, 2011 by Euronews http://www.euronews.net/ The scale of destruction in the village of Guvencli is typical of the damage caused by the earthquake to several villages across southeastern Turkey. It is almost impossible to tell looking at the many piles of rocks and rubble that around 150 houses once dotted the landscape. Most have been destroyed and little is left of those remaining. Given the village is only 25 kilometres from the quake's epicentre, it is amazing that only 15 of its 3,000 residents were killed.
