The devastating earthquakes, which occurred on February 6, with a magnitude of 7.7 and 7.6, wreaked havoc in the southern province of Marash and affected 11 other provinces in southern and southeastern Turkey, as well as parts of northern Syria.

Official government figures put a staggering death toll of over 50,000 people, with more than 227,000 buildings either destroyed or severely damaged in the affected areas.

The latest UN report highlights the dire situation in these earthquake-affected areas, with persistent challenges exacerbating the crisis. The region continues to face hardships caused by heavy rains and persistent aftershocks, hampering relief efforts.

As a result, approximately 1.6 million people are still living in makeshift shelters or tents, and have difficulty accessing basic services and basic living conditions. Moreover, the disaster forced three million people to flee their homes in search of safety from the devastating effects left by the earthquakes. (VC/VK)
