Elderly man loses everything except his kitten in fierce blaze
An elderly Turkish man has lost everything except his pet kitten following a devastating house fire.
A powerful image, shot in Bolu, Turkey, shows Ali Mese, 83, walking through the bitter cold on January 17.
Behind him is nothing but ash and ruins as he cradles his pet kitten in his left hand – barely able to hold it as light snow comes down.
Firefighters in the background inspect the debris.
According to the state-run Anadolu Agency, the fire broke out after Mr Mese tried to light his wood stove with gasoline.

Mr Mese has since been discharged from hospital after receiving treatments for burns to his hand.
He’s also been reunited with his kitten – and is staying with his daughter until he finds a new place to live.
