Hasta La Gadget!

Turkey observed a day of national mourning this week to grieve the deaths of 44 people in the triple-suicide bombing at the nation’s largest airport. 

Turkish officials blamed Tuesday’s attack at Istanbul Ataturk airport on the Islamic State militant group, and detained 22 suspects in police raids. No group has claimed responsibility.

The death toll has risen to 44 people, including 19 foreign nationals from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, China, Iraq, Ukraine and Jordan, among others. Hundreds were injured.

With flags at half-staff, funerals for some victims were held.

Here are some of the people who lost their lives in the airport massacre:

Ferhat Akkaya, 42

Ferhat Akkaya was the airport to bid farewell to a friend who was going on a trip, according to the The Wall Street Journal. Ferhat, whose funeral was held Thursday, left behind three children, the The Associated Press reported.

“She was very lovely,” the little girl’s father reportedly said while standing next to her casket. “I lost her.”

The eldest aunt had been preparing for her upcoming wedding, NPR reported, which is why her family was traveling.
