The portals "Veriu.info" and "Kosovarja-ks.com" published on their Facebook pages on February 6, a photo of a child sitting near some ruins, claiming that the image was taken after the February 6 earthquake in Turkey.
Hibrid.info, after research conducted through digital search engines, has managed to confirm that this image was not taken after the February 6 earthquake that struck Turkey, but has been circulating on the internet since May 11, 2019.
Link to the post of this photo on Facebook from the pages "Veriu.info" and "Revista Kosovarja":
In the description of this photo, the aforementioned sites claimed that the boy's image was taken in areas hit by the recent earthquake in Turkey:
"A view from today's earthquake in Turkey" and "The despair of the Turkish people as they realize they have lost everything is sad."
After research conducted through the automated online program “InVID”, hibrid.info has managed to find the image published on the online photography platform “Depositphotos.com”, where it is clarified that it was uploaded to this website on May 11, 2019. (see here)

Analyze:
The portals "Veriu.info" and "Kosovarja-ks.com" have posted a photo of a child sitting near some ruins on their Facebook pages, claiming that it was taken after the February 6 earthquake in Turkey.
However, after verifying the facts, hibrid.info has confirmed that the photo does not belong to this event, as claimed, but has been circulating on the internet since May 11, 2019.
Also, the aforementioned pages have added a false description to this post claiming that the photo was taken after the earthquake in Turkey.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses these posts as "Fake News".
Reasoning:
The "Fake News" rating is given to media reports that are entirely the product of a medium that itself contains factually incorrect claims or information.
Content that is considered fake news can be reliably determined to have been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
