Türkiye met “immense solidarity and generosity” of the worldwide group within the aftermath of the huge quakes final month, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu stated on Monday.
“We noticed the immense solidarity and generosity of the worldwide group. Rescue groups from all around the world put themselves in danger to rescue victims.
“We are grateful. We will never forget the helping hands of our friends,” Çavuşoğlu stated on the International Donors’ Conference in Brussels.
The convention was organized by European Commission and the Swedish presidency of the Council of the European Union to assist victims affected by devastating Feb. 6 earthquakes in southern Türkiye.
Magnitude 7.7 and seven.6 quakes struck 11 provinces-Kahramanmaras, Hatay, Gaziantep, Adiyaman, Malatya, Adana, Diyarbakir, Kilis, Osmaniye, Sanliurfa, and Elazig-in southern and southeastern Türkiye, and claimed the lives of over 50,000 individuals.
More than 13.5 million individuals in Türkiye have been affected by the devastating quakes, in addition to many others in northern Syria.
Türkiye now strikes to the restoration and reconstruction section, Çavuşoğlu stated, including: “Increasing the resilience to disasters is just one goal.”
Meeting the wants of these in susceptible conditions will likely be a precedence, he pledged.
“The earthquakes hit 1.7 million Syrian refugees and migrants living in our 11 provinces. They will also benefit from these efforts in an inclusive manner,” he pressured.
