situation. the country is facing and soaring, inflation under president air to one's government. the price of food has skyrocketed. meanwhile, energy prices have risen in tandem as have the costs of renting an apartment or buying a home or condo. that's especially true in turkey's most popular vacation areas. but here it's mainly russians who are driving prices up. turkey is one of the only countries you can still fly to directly from moscow. and for russians on taya on the mediterranean coast is not only a beautiful city to vacation, but a refuge from the consequences of russia's war against ukraine. but the rising real estate prices mean that locals in antalya like movie ya, sher and their main pasha, may soon no longer be able to afford their homes. antalya on the mediterranean coastline is one of turkey's biggest cities. even in winter, you can spend a day at the beach here. so it's no wonder that antalya is real. estate market is

booming. but the main reason for the weekly price hike is the growing number of russians who've been coming ever since the war and ukraine started looking to buy or rent homes. it's left residence like mussa, yasha and ne'er mean touched us struggling. a total, this citizen in some cases, real estate prices are up by 8 to 900 percent of all machine. even civil servants can't afford to live here anymore. like i know several who've asked to be transferred because of the high ranks. give me name my she thought i could all letter the all yasser and touched a created group on social media called rent victims. they are visiting a pensioner who has been served noticed by his landlord. he can't afford his rent after a fivefold increase, a ms. ivy is like how much of a customer we haven't got a flat will now go to a foreigner. you know,

they have more money to spend in a month than we do in a year bottoms. when i did that got on to so i time for the states to step it usa law. they need to provide social housing so that we low income families also have a place to live with somebody without together least a letter or a list of scenarios. they feel the main reason why real estate prices have skyrocketed is the growing number of foreign buyers. most buyers are russian, and there are nearly 60000 russians currently living in antalya, according to real estate agents. this has drastically impacted the market based me that i found the apartments that were put on the market for a 5000 lire, us or about 250 euros, could suddenly be rented to foreigners for 3 times the price either. when neighbors caught on to this apartment, they began demanding the same rents cautioned like a bombay m causing one bush every year. the rent activists are feeling increasingly frustrated,

not to be duties that anyone who comes here should be allowed to live as they please. that's absolutely fine. it's when it's at the expense of our children, our future that it becomes a problem. requires the cities orthodox parish serves as a meeting place for many russians. several of the men here came in case russia introduced as a draft. the metropolitan bishop tells us, others came to turkey because of the international sanctions against their country . oh davi taught us already came to antalya before the war broke out. for him, the church choir offers a connection to home. oh, he says it has become increasingly difficult to gain a foothold and antalya even for russians. gotcha. so a low down low, especially in the 1st weeks, it's hard to find an apartment or even a job of business nationally. people ask me for advice all the time, but unfortunately on i'm not always able to help. i do. you have to own

a business or real estate. i will back in 5 years, not some elizabeth, michigan. i thought it is an i t specialist. he like sitting on the turkish riviera, working way on his laptop, but he's aware that although he can afford to rent upwards of 500 euros, many turkish people are being left behind. off i thought only we follow the requirements made by turkish authorities and otherwise let the market guide us. when looking for housing, you can't blame us for the economic and social consequences of that system. let me give up it for medical. but in mussa ya shars eyes, there is blame to go around when it comes to the housing crisis. and some lies with politicians. he wants to confront the head of the inner city district where most russians have settled. so i did love you in the past, foreigners used to come here on vacation below they book one or 2 week package holidays on the level. ready they didn't buy houses and settle here, lovable if

a plumbing issue that you wanted a different percentage of foreign tenants or homeowners in a district exceeds 20 percent. the real estate market is closed to foreigner. capital 3 district 0 antalya already have such a been in place since last july. again, that amended law nick about letting buffalo can you at least help affected citizens like me to find an apartment? well, i haven't gone from but then oh well that's not my job. that's up to the agents. oh, when yeah shar picks his daughter up from school. he still doesn't have a new apartment to tell her about. he puts on a brave face, but his despair is growing. the rising whence in antalya may soon force residents like massage are to leave their hometown i having financial worries as a struggle all too many romanians know as well. the country is one of the poorest

in the u. and in rural regions, even a visit to the doctor constrained a monthly budget to the breaking point in the village of hotel thoroughly. many people don't have health insurance, and the nearest doctor is so far away that the journey alone is prohibitively expensive. luckily, there are doctors who can help like the ones behind me here. their motto is if the patient can't come to the doctor, then the doctor has to go to the patient, free of charge. it's 6 30 am and the romanian capital, bucharest, via model dolly is meeting a friend who will be taking her to the remotest parts of the country. she's training to be a nurse and volunteers for the aide organization. corvana cool, mid each or doctor is caravan. the visa has a long day of work ahead of her for which she won't get paid, but she's committed to helping disadvantage people in her home country as then

law combine. yeah. as part of the campaign, we're promoting good health by offering screenings to those in need body. o 5. the help of other volunteers such as myself, we can provide a number of complex medical screenings. people just wouldn't have access to otherwise said his name that he got he month, but that still the complex there. this time she's heading to hotel daily, a remote village in southern romania. it's gymnasium is being re purpose has a medical center for the day. by evening, the 3 doctors and 5 nurses sent by the organization will examine over 75 patients. one of the 1st in for a checkup is len tsetse of as a lucky the 72 year old has lived alone since her husband died in august. no doctor was there to help him. how many fun if he passed very quickly? well, he had a thrombosis in his left leg, which went untreated. she, la woman,

that then is hartfield added, died on the spot. would it be len teacher as a la has only $200.00 euros a month, which leaves no money for health insurance or private doctors. it's a situation familiar to many here. places like what out aly are typical of rural romania. there are hardly any jobs here, and incomes are low. many don't have health insurance and get by on the little day grow on their far and in their gardens. misha, 11 christiane, who is one of them. she lives on a farm with her husband who was ill. and grandma, no one, did you not the law made you? i never really went to the doctor. i've been with my husband, but i myself haven't been to the doctor since the birth of my last child. i haven't even had a check up since then with the fact that she can get a free check up to day is nothing short of a miracle for miss ala. it will be the 1st cancer screening she's ever had. you

were by she no, but good. not good if you go to bucharest, you need to have the money for a screening. they don't do it for free. they're like they did for us here. the hob, whoever had the idea to come to us and who totally well it was a great one of any sheet on i love what that lorenzo organized the visit from the medical care of and with the help of private donations, the doctors are paid, but their assistance work for free during the campaign over 60 doctors and volunteers spend 8 weekends working in rural areas. they're always sent to poor villages. in the end, up to 1400 people will have received free examinations and consultations. there are cities without sorry, villages, without her family doctor, as we call the thought g b. there are areas where there's only one for maybe $23000.00 or for thousands of people. and i also wake up to investigations like an ultrasound people

a day like no other i've had for people not mine. and i hope to repeat this experience because it also helps me to become more aware of things. no father dick that. so margaret bishop m in a been fernand overall. the results were positive to just one patient is thought to have a potentially serious cancer which might have gone undetected were not for the aid organization. as any parent will happily tell you, raising a child can be tough. that's also true for hannah reuter. she's trying to provide her daughter with a well rounded life, but she herself navigates in the dark, and a writer is blind and so is her husband. their daughter mula is the only one in the household who can see. but even if that means a few more obstacles in their day to day lives together, they manage to overcome them. it's 70 m on a regular school and work day and it is making her daughter meal is lunch.

her poor mom couldn't see it. da, so i've become a bit of a perfectionist. i am going to refer to check things 5 times, see, but because people look at us and to see how we look at what we do. if we get across the road safely, as a matter of physics, everybody calls the con. yeah. well, mila is at school, can do, makes lunch. he works as a ma, sir. he went blind, almost 15 years ago, after a retinal detachment. and mo, hannah has been blind since birth. she works in public relations. and as a writer, what was their 1st meeting like? oh, so eager minded it was a feeling and here comes a woman was a great voice, a feeling. of course i couldn't see her, but i felt she was beautiful. then i told myself, forget it. it'll never work and i was no longer 9 and ferguson focused in ha, just forgive me now that look at married, 3 years later than meal arrived along with
