A young woman in Diyarbakir is seen reading the Qur'an for her relative who died during the earthquake, while her mother is crying and praying. Those who died in the severe earthquakes that took place on February 6 and continued in Turkey were commemorated with prayers at their graves before Friday, which is considered holy by Muslims. Since the death toll was high in 11 cities affected by the earthquake, a new cemetery was added to each city cemetery. Most of the 414 people who died in 7 buildings destroyed in the city of Diyarbak?r were buried in the Yenikoy cemetery in the Baglar district of the city. The families of the deceased visit the cemeteries every Thursday evening, to pray and read Surah Yasin from the Qur'an. In addition, the lands of the graves and the flowers planted are irrigated.
