Women bid goodbye to their submerged homes in ancient town of Turkey
Women whose houses are left underwater due to the Ilisu Dam vow to keep their memories alive.
Habibe Sacik sat at the banks of the Tigris River and wept.
“I came to see my village one last time,” she said a few days before the waters of the controversial Ilisu Dam inundated her village along with dozens of others. “Wherever you go, how far you travel, home is home. You feel its loss.”
