Uganda’s ambassador in Instanbul, Nusura Tiperu saw off the body at Instanbul Airport.
Authorities in Turkey say things are not looking good yet.
“The outlook for Istanbul is not bright. It’s not bright at all,” says Professor Celal Sengor, one of Turkey’s foremost geoscientists.
“If a major earthquake doesn’t happen in the next twenty years in Istanbul, then we would all be very surprised,” the Istanbul Technical University professor tells CNN. “That’s how close it is. It’s only a probability, but the probability is high.”
