Today, Tuesday, the Ambassador of the State of Palestine to Turkey, Faed Mustafa, stated that 5 Palestinians were recovered in Turkey, noting that they are residents of Antakya, and they are Palestinians from Syria.

The victims are: Fatima Odeh, her daughter Faten Kardasi, her son Muhammad Kardasi and his wife Israa Odeh, and Mona Habakzi.
