Ekrem Dumanlı

A total of 87 people lost their lives in traffic accidents during the first six days of the nine-day Eid al-Fitr national holiday period. The deaths of more than a hundred people while returning home from the holiday has plunged their families into grief. Traffic accidents have left behind not only dead people but also disabled ones as well as orphaned children. The material damage is immeasurable.
