ADANA: The World Health Organization will support Ankara in its response to massive earthquakes that killed more than 50,000, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Tuesday , as the death toll from the latest aftershock rose to two.
Türkiye is"doing its best" but still needs international support to help the victims of the earthquake, Tedros said, describing the destruction as"really massive" for modern history. "These are like respiratory infections, GI infections, especially mental health problems - because many people are really traumatised - and people who need rehabilitation services, especially orthopaedic service," he said.
More than 160,000 buildings containing 520,000 apartments collapsed or were severely damaged in Türkiye by the disaster,the worst in the country's modern history.
