It's been exactly one year since the earthquakes in southern Turkey and northern Syria, where over 55,000 people died and many more were injured.
But in Syria, not much has happened since then in terms of reconstruction, and the situation is worse than ever according to Gabriel Karlsson from the Swedish Red Cross.
”We look at the post-earthquake situation as 'the good old days',” he tells Radio Sweden.
