“We dug the body of one of our sisters and our other sister alive”
In the subtitle of the video, in which he was seen during the rescue efforts with the TDV teams, the following statements of the national wrestler were included:
“We listened to the voice of a citizen who asked for our support, and finally we succeeded in exhuming the body of our sister, who could not be reached for 3 days.
We also witnessed and supported good things. Supporting AFAD, AKUT, special forces and NGOs, we rescued one of our sisters and carried them with our hands. Kindness suits this nation very well.”
