Turkish President says they will rebuild quake-hit buildings within a year

Ankara – The Turkish president on Wednesday pledged to first complete search and rescue efforts and then carry out accommodation and subsistence services to earthquake victims “by making sure no one suffers.”

Reiterating their goal to rebuild the quake-hit buildings within a year, the Turkish president said: “In yesterday’s Cabinet meeting, we collected 136.6 million Turkish liras in aid.”

Our works have expedited with the efforts of our 250,000 personnel and with our entire nation, says President Erdogan

Speaking on the nationwide “Türkiye United as One” aid campaign TV broadcast via phone call, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said “every penny” collected on the nationwide campaign will be used for the earthquake victims.

The campaign is also being broadcast on 213 national and international television channels as well as 562 radio channels.

Conveying condolences to all those affected by the earthquake, Erdogan said search and rescue and aid efforts, which were being held under “extraordinary struggle” continue.

He further said that the shortcomings on the initial days of the earthquake have significantly been eliminated.

“Our works have expedited with the efforts of our 250,000 personnel and with our entire nation. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone, including public personnel, civil society members and volunteers, with whom we shouldered the disaster of the century,” he said.

Erdogan thanked all friendly countries for their solidarity messages and search and rescue efforts as well as those taking part in the nationwide aid campaign.

“We will first complete the search and rescue efforts, not leave a single person under the rubble, and carry out the subsistence and accommodation services in a way that will not cause anyone grievances,” he added.

On Feb. 6, two powerful earthquakes struck southern Türkiye, centered in Kahramanmaras and shaking ten other provinces – Hatay, Gaziantep, Adiyaman, Malatya, Adana, Diyarbakir, Kilis, Osmaniye, Sanliurfa, and Elazig.

The death toll has now climbed over 35,400, with thousands more injured.

Felt in several countries, the magnitude 7.7 and 7.6 tremors also caused massive destruction in northern Syria, where more than 3,500 lives have been lost.​​​​​​​
