Turkish earthquake 51,000

Approximately 51,000 people were killed in the devastating earthquake that shook Turkey in February, said the interior minister on Saturday

Two quakes shook 11 provinces in southern Turkey on February 6, killing and injuring over 100,000 people and destroying thousands of buildings.

Turkey's Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu revealed on Saturday that the death toll has risen to 50,783, adding that there were people who were buried before their deaths were registered, reported CNN Turk.

The Turkish government was heavily criticized by the opposition for the slow response to the earthquake, mainly due to not taking adequate prevention measures following the recent earthquakes of Elazig (Xarpet in Kurdish) and Izmir in 2020, which killed a total of 161 people.

Three years following the earthquake in Elazig, some victims have been compensated with residential units.

However, many victims of the same natural disaster are angry as they feel ignored.

Following the February quakes, president Recep Tayyip Erdogan promised compensation and restoration of the collapsed buildings and handing over the new residential units within a year.

On Saturday, Erdogan handed over the keys of new houses to victims of the latest quakes in Gaziantep (Dilok in Kurdish) and Kahramanmaras provinces.

Nevertheless, these efforts are seen as mere campaigning for the upcoming elections in May as Erdogan is facing his toughest challenge to date, as his popularity is at its lowest, according to polls.

Many Turkish citizens vocally asked for the resignation of the government, seeing it responsible for not taking adequate measures for such emergency cases, especially after the earthquake in Elazig.

Some people are trying to use the earthquakes as a campaigning issue in the forthcoming election, those people are WRONG

Nobody could have prepared for 10 weeks of earthquakes and few building could have stood up to all the quakes

Most of the buildings were built before the most recent building regulations came into force

In some areas, where the government had tried to demolish older building, the inhabitants themselves refused to leave accusing the government of destroying Kurdish heritage

Could the government have done more or reacted quicker? Doubtful with the ongoing quakes

Could the opposition party have done better? No. Were the opposition party to win the election and another such disaster take place the death total could quadruple. The party is headed by an elderly man without the capability of dealing with such a disaster

KRG rescue team

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday awarded the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) rescue team for supporting Turkey’s provinces which were hit by devastating quakes in February

Two quakes shook 11 provinces in southern Turkey on February 6, killing 50,783 people and destroying thousands of buildings, according to the latest figure from the government.

President Erdogan attended the “State Medal and Order of Supreme Sacrifice” ceremony in Ankara on Tuesday, awarding those nations which helped Turkey in its response to the earthquakes.

Tahsin Shro Ahmed, the head of KRG’s rescue team, was also awarded. However, he was introduced as the representative of Iraq, not the Kurdistan Region. The KRG interior ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that Ahmed represented the Region.

“Our aim is to reward those who display sacrifice in combatting pandemics as well as such natural disasters as earthquakes, fires and floods, with this order and medal,” Erdogan said during the event, thanking the teams.

“As you know, our state has orders and medals in three different categories. With a little amendment we made recently in the law on orders and medals, we have added to them another one, the State Medal and Order of Supreme Sacrifice,” he added.

Turkish officials have refrained from publicly acknowledging the Region’s aid to quake-hit provinces. However, some opposition leaders have thanked the Kurdish government.

KRG as well as the Region’s humanitarian organizations and people were among the first to provide aid to the neighbouring country. Several fundraising campaigns were launched in the Region.

Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani paid a visit to some quake-hit areas in Turkey on February 14. He was received by President Erdogan in Ankara the same day.

Ankara and Erbil enjoy great economic relations, and most of the Kurdistan Region's crude oil is marketed through Turkey's pipelines. However, the flow of oil from the Region has been suspended for about a month due to an arbitration case between Ankara and Baghdad.

The Turkish government was heavily criticized by the opposition for the slow response to the earthquake, mainly due to not taking adequate prevention measures following the recent earthquakes of Elazig (Xarpet in Kurdish) and Izmir in 2020, which killed a total of 161 people.

Following the quakes, Erdogan promised compensation and restoration of the collapsed buildings and handing over the new residential units within a year.
