The representative of the organization in Turkey, Louisa Vinton, said that this estimation is based on a joint assessment made by the UN, the World Bank, the European Union and the Government of Turkey.
This number Does not include financing for the rebuilding of towns in northern Syria again devastated by natural disasters and where humanitarian aid is more difficult to provide for security and logistical reasons.
46,000 dead
According to Vinton, earthquakes are the least 214,000 buildings in ten affected Turkish provinces killed 46,000 people and forced the region’s 2.7 million residents to displace.
The representative regrets that only 9.6% of the $1 billion in aid initially committed to the country reaches Turkey, making it difficult to realize the reconstruction plans announced by the Turkish government.
An international donor conference will be held in Brussels on March 16 where countries will try to help. Save 100,000 million euros those deemed necessary.
Vinton emphasized that the most urgent needs to be met in this sense are the adaptation of waste management facilities, basic services for the displaced and the reconstruction of the lost cultural heritage.
