'Not a single structure was undamaged, and we are talking about a town the size of Anchorage,' Teresa Gray said.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Teresa Gray returned to Anchorage late last week after leading a team from the nonprofit she founded,, to Samandag, a city in southern Turkey near the Feb. 6 earthquake’s epicenter.
Gray’s team spent a week seeing people in makeshift clinics, sometimes working out of their car. They doled out antibiotics and other medications, treating more than 100 people with injuries big and small.“Neighborhood to neighborhood, seeing anybody for whatever they needed to be seen ,” she said. “And if they are truly sick or injured beyond what we can do for them on the side of the road, we will take them to the hospital, make sure they get medical care.
“Because search and rescue has not been to this area, it was neighbors with hammers that were able to get her out,” Gray said. “But in the rubble were her sisters and her father, so her and her mother were the only ones that survived.”
