A Syrian lost 5 sons in the earthquakes and found his daughter's message under the rubble. What did you write?

Nasser al-Wakaya kept his family safe during years of war, bombardment and airstrikes until an earthquake demolished their home Monday in Jindires in northwestern Syria, killing his wife and most of his children.

Rescuers managed to pull two of Nasser al-Wakaa's sons out of the rubble of a house in Jindires, Syria, overnight. Video footage showed the children bruised and covered in dust. Another child survived, but his wife and at least five of his children died.

Al-Wakaa sat amid the rubble and concrete blocks, mourning his wife and the rest of his children, cradling the clothes of one of the deceased.

He began to mutter the names of his sons, male and female, without mentioning their exact number, in despair and confusion.

"The house trembled. We are used to I mean. We are used to hitting the plane, we are used to a missile strike, a barrel will fall on you. We're used to it. But an earthquake means, this is God's command."

He added: "I said, Lord, but leave me one. I want only one of these children."

After the earthquake, al-Wakaa asked for help to save his sons, and learned that his sons, Faisal and Mohsen, had died.

The bodies of the eldest daughter Heba and her younger sister Israa were found. Heba was dead and her little sister was also dead in her lap. The body of another sister, Samiha was found nearby.

Al-Wakaa carried with him a scrap of paper written by his eldest daughter Heba in her handwriting in a notebook found buried under the rubble. Heba wrote: "Oh God, I entrust you with the most precious thing I have, so keep it for me, you are in the protection of God and in my heart, Abu Faisal (her father's nickname)."

Al-Wakaa later stood in a daze as one of his sons was buried in a mass grave containing many of the bodies of the victims of the disaster.

The city of Jindires on the Syrian side of the border with Turkey saw many homes destroyed and some partially collapsed in a rebel-held enclave.

A U.N. agency said 14 aid trucks arrived in northwest Syria on Friday, the first outside aid to reach an opposition-held area, one of the hardest hit by the quake.
