Erdogan assures early reconstruction of Turkey, the death toll from devastating earthquake crosses 35,000

President Tayyip Erdogan, standing just a few steps away from the election, has promised that he will rebuild Turkey fast. Before this, the badly damaged buildings will be demolished and the debris removed. On Wednesday, the death toll from the earthquake in Turkey and Syria crossed the figure of 41,000. Only in Turkey, more than 35 thousand people have died.

The most devastating earthquake in the last 100 years

Please tell us that this was the most devastating earthquake in the country in the last 100 years. Meanwhile, a woman has been found alive after 222 hours in the middle of a building badly damaged by the earthquake. In Turkey and Syria, about 1.5 million homeless people are spending time in poverty in the bitter cold. They are in dire need of food, water, medicines, and other essential commodities. More than half of the buildings in Turkey's southern Hatay province have been destroyed or badly damaged.

Debris removal work will start soon.

The country's Urban Development Minister Murat Kurum has said that the work of removing the debris will start soon and then safe houses will be built. Relief supplies remain hard to reach in earthquake-ravaged rebel-held areas of civil war-ravaged Syria. People are taking their efforts to rescue those trapped in the debris and are treating the injured with limited resources.

About six thousand people died in Syria

Most of the buildings and houses in this area, which have been bombarded for more than ten years, are already dilapidated and damaged, the earthquake has razed such buildings. People from outside the area are not able to reach the affected area, so the exact number of dead is also not coming out. The United Nations and other agencies estimate that more than 5,800 people have been killed in Syria.
