Erdogan vows to erase traces of devastating earthquakes

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan promised to heal the wounds of
the victims of powerful earthquakes that hit Türkiye’s southern
region and claimed more than 50,000 lives, Trend reports citing
Daily
News.

“Together we will remove the traces of this disaster,” Erdogan
said at a ceremony in quake-hit Hatay province.

“We will not leave (quake-hit region) until all the wounds are
healed and everything that has been destroyed is rebuilt for the
better,” he added.

Türkiye plans to construct enough buildings in a year to meet
the needs of quake victims, Erdogan said, adding that 319,000
houses would be built in the first year and 650,000 in total.
