 New Earthquake Hits kahramanmaras

Istanbul, Europe Brief News – A magnitude 4,7 earthquake occurred at 07:47 a.m kahramanmaras, in southeastern Turkey.

The Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) stated that the tremor occurred at a depth of 7 Km in the state.

There are no reports of material damage or injuries.

A violent 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck southern Turkiye and northern Syria on February 6, followed by another 7.6-magnitude earthquake and thousands of powerful aftershocks that claimed tens of thousands of lives and damaged buildings and property.

On February 6, Kahramanmaras was one of the Turkish provinces devastated by two earthquakes of magnitude 7,7 and 7,6.

The earthquake which also affected the areas of Gaziantep, Sanliurfa, Diyarbakir, Adana, Adiyaman, Osmaniye, Hatay, Kilis, Malatya and Elazig caused the death of at least 47.932 people.

The World Bank previously estimated the direct damage in Turkey at $34.2bn, but it said recovery and reconstruction costs will be much higher and losses to Turkey’s gross domestic product associated with economic disruptions caused by the quakes will also add to the cost.

About two million survivors have been housed in temporary accommodation or evacuated from the earthquake-devastated region, according to Turkish government figures

About 1.5 million people are living in tents while another 46,000 have been moved to container houses. Others are living in dormitories and guesthouses, the government said.
