How are Turkey and Syria faring a month after the earthquakes? | DW NewsMar 6, 2023 #Earthquake #Turkey #Syria
It’s exactly one month since a massive earthquake hit southern Turkey and northwestern Syria. More than 50,000 people were killed in the worst natural disaster in modern Turkish history. The quake’s epicenter was near the Turkish city of Gaziantep, close to the Syrian border. Millions of people have been injured, left homeless or are lacking basic facilities.
Ankara declared a three-month state of emergency for the ten provinces that were most affected. The government also arrested contractors suspected of shoddy building that may have vastly increased the death toll.
After years of war, the situation in northwestern Syria is harder to evaluate. The cities of Aleppo and Idlib were among those badly hit. And a powerful aftershock in the following weeks triggered new fears.
