(Jewish Group) Stalwarts of Antakya Jewish community confirmed dead in Turkey quake
Saul Cenudioglu, the president of the small Jewish community in Antakya, Turkey, was confirmed dead on Friday, a day after his wife’s body had been pulled from the wreckage of their apartment building.
Saul and Fortuna Cenudioglu were killed when their building collapsed in the first of two massive earthquakes that struck southeastern Turkey on Monday, sparking a humanitarian disaster.
The death toll has soared past 20,000 across both Turkey and Syria. The grim toll is only expected to rise as the window for rescues closes four days after the disaster.
Fortuna’s body was found by a team from the Israel Defense Forces that was combing the devastated city as part of the Israeli relief delegation and had been dispatched to the Cenudioglus’ address. An initial report said Saul Cenudioglu’s body had been retrieved along with his wife’s.
