According to the Anadolu state news agency, the Syrian family had followed in the footsteps of millions of other people who had been displaced by the disaster and had moved in with their relatives in Konya.
Local media reported that a fire on Friday killed five Syrian children and their parents in a Turkish home they moved into after surviving the earthquake last week.

The Syrian family relocated from the earthquake-ravaged Turkish city of Nurdagi on February 6 to the central region of Konya.

The 7.8-magnitude quake has killed more than 41,000 people in southeastern Turkey and Syria, making it the deadliest natural disaster in the region in centuries.
According to the Anadolu state news agency, the Syrian family had followed in the footsteps of millions of other people who had been displaced by the disaster and had moved in with their relatives in Konya.

We witnessed the fire but were unable to intervene. Muhsin Cakir, a resident, told Anadolu that a girl had been pulled out of the window.

Anadolu stated that the five children who perished ranged in age from four to thirteen.

It was not clear whether the rescued girl belonged to the same family.

Nearly four million Syrians live in Turkey.

According to official statistics, more than 38,000 people have died in Turkey and nearly 3,700 in Syria as a result of the disaster that occurred last week. Many of them live in devastated southeastern regions.
