Agent of Christian Atsu, Nana Sechere has confirmed that the Ghanaian international has
still not been found.
He however said Atsu’s shoes were seen after a search in the rubble in Turkey.
It has been 9 days since the earthquake and we still have not located Christian. I
am at the quake site in Hatay with Christian’s family. The scenes are unimaginable
and our hearts are broken for all the people affected,” he wrote. “During my time
here we have been able to locate Christian Atsu’s exact room location, and we have
found two pairs of his shoes.
“Yesterday we received confirmation that thermal
imagery was showing signs of up to 5 lives, however, I am told that the only real
confirmation of life is through sight, smell and sound, and unfortunately we were
not able to locate Christian. “This is a difficult situation and we are extremely
grateful to all the Turkish and foreign rescue teams, local civilians and volunteers
for their efforts and response in rescuing survivors. However, we urgently need
more resources, including a translator, on the ground.
“Things are moving
incredibly slow and as a result of that many rescues are being delayed, and lives
are being lost due to the lack of resources available to the workers. It is unfortunate
that the club is not on the ground with us, side by side, in the search for Christian.
“Their position and influence, accompanied with their local knowledge would be
extremely helpful. We implore the President of the club and mayor of Hatay, Lütfü
Savaş to provide additional resources to speed up the rescue efforts as a priority.
