14 Jews rescued from devastated Turkish city of Antakya, given shelter in Istanbul – After community leader and his wife were killed, most of city’s remaining Jews are airlifted by fundraising group Keren Hayesod | Timesofisrael

Fourteen Jews were rescued over the weekend in Antakya, a city in southern Turkey whose Jewish community lost its leader and his wife in last week’s devastating earthquakes, an Israeli fundraising group said Wednesday.
The community members, from eight families — most of the city’s remaining Jews — were flown to Istanbul, and are currently in a Jewish nursing home and in the homes of Jewish community members, according to the group, Keren Hayesod. They are expected to stay in Istanbul for the foreseeable future.
