TOPSHOT - In this photograph taken on February 12, 2023, a woman walks by the destroyed Habib-i Neccar mosque in the historic southern city of Antakya in Hatay, Turkey, a week after an earthquake devastated parts of Turkey and Syria leaving more than 35,000 dead and millions in dire need of aid. - Antakya, formerly known as "Antioch", was founded in 300 BC by a former general of Alexander the Great and draws its heritage from the many civilizations that have established a presence there: Greek, Roman, Arab, Persian, Ottoman, as well as a short French mandate between the end of World War I and 1939, when the city was returned to Turkey.
