International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent in Turkey it is reported that up to 250,000 people could be affected by the destruction and damage to their homes as a result of a series of earthquakes in the south of the country. This event took place near the border with Syria and eventually affected that country.
The head of the organization in Turkey, Ruben Kano, confirmed that the latest estimates point to more than 5,000 destroyed buildings, which, in addition to recommendations not to return to their homes in the first days after the earthquake, means that thousands of people are forced to live on the street.
In this context, the international organization has now focused part of its efforts on caring for this part of the population that has become homeless in Turkey and for whom tents, blankets and food are distributed until they can return home.
The situation is further complicated by the weather in Turkey, which this week has been the scene of a cold wave that has left temperatures as low as five degrees below zero, Cano said.
With these numbers, the tremors in Turkey, partly accustomed to earthquakes, could be compared with those recorded in 1999 in Istanbul, where up to 300,000 people were affected and the death toll rose to 18,000, the agency believes.
The Turkish authorities came to compare the earthquake with that which was registered in 1939 in Erzincan, in the central-eastern region of the country, where about 40,000 people died. However, Kano believes that this earthquake can be compared with the level of damage, and not so much the number of deaths.
They estimate over two thousand deaths
The balance of victims after the earthquake of magnitude 7.8 that occurred Turkey and Syria at dawn this Monday, according to figures provided by the authorities of both countries and the White Helmets, 2,300 people died, and there are fears that this figure could increase in the next few hours, as thousands of people have already been injured. that many are still trapped under rubble.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Monday’s tragedy “the biggest disaster since the 1939 earthquake” that killed more than 30,000 people.
“Our state has taken action with all institutions since the earthquake, and our provinces have mobilized all their capabilities,” he said, noting that more than 9,000 people are working in search and rescue operations.
