"It's very upsetting," said Yucel."It is scary what is happening out there. The whole city went down. My niece's family is from Urfa. It's so sad what has happened." "I have friends and family over there. I've been talking to them a lot. I really want to go there but I can't because of work. Everybody here is wanting news about friends and families out there.
"A lot of customers have been coming in to Anatolia and have been very kind, saying nice words and coming to say sorry about what has happened. They have been asking to donate things but it's difficult for us to send it on."
