Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said 294 people had been injured, with 18 seriously hurt and transported to hospitals in Adana and Dortyol. Muna Al Omar said she had been in a tent in a park in central Antakya when the ground started heaving again. President Tayyip Erdogan said construction work on nearly 200,000 apartments in 11 provinces of Turkiye would begin next month.
Around 39,000 are due to deliver in the next month, and many are sheltering in camps or exposed to freezing temperatures and struggling to get food or clean water.In Syria, already shattered by more than a decade of civil war, most deaths have been in the northwest, where the United Nations said 4,525 people were killed. The area is controlled by insurgents at war with President Bashar al-Assad, complicating aid efforts.
Thousands of Syrian refugees in Turkiye have returned to their homes in northwest Syria to contact relatives caught up in the disaster.
