6 months after a devastating earthquake, Turkey's preparedness is still uncertain
Six months ago today, a devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit the Kahramanmaras and 10 other provinces in southern Turkey on the morning of February 6th. Over 50,000 people died, and hundreds of thousands were left homeless, sheltering in tents and other temporary accommodation. The future, both for survivors and for cities under threat from a potential quake, is unclear as Turkey grapples with rampant inflation and recovery from the worst natural disaster in its modern history.
