Survivors of the Turkey earthquake are living in fear on the streets

Survivors of the earthquake in Turkey are in an uncertain future, particularly in finding a safe place to live. With over 1.5 million people currently without homes, it remains unclear how long it will take to get adequate shelter. According to the Turkish disaster agency Afad, nearly two million people departed from the earthquake zone on March 7, 2023, with some residing with family or friends elsewhere in the nation. The Government of this country is providing free Transportation options in flights and trains to those wishing to depart from this earthquake-affected area. In the town of Samandag, located near the Mediterranean coast, Songul affirms that she and her family have no intention of leaving, despite the damage caused by the earthquake. They will stay in the same place and are ready to face any challenges if it comes.
 Furniture of sentimental value has been cautiously removed from the house and arranged outside. When Songul's brother-in-law Husemettin and 11-year-old nephew Lozan were sleeping, their apartment building in Iskenderun collapsed, causing their death. Now, this building is a sprawling pile of twisted debris. Neighbors informed us that three blocks of flats had collapsed. It has been a month since the catastrophic earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria, with reports indicating that the death toll in Turkey alone has reached 45,968. 
Meanwhile, in Syria, over 6,000 individuals have been confirmed dead.
