Rebuilding Turkey after the earthquake

Business Daily

Available for over a year

On Sunday 6 August 2023 it will be six months since the devastating event which killed more than 50,000 people, injured tens of thousands more, and left hundreds of thousands of people homeless. For Business Daily, Victoria Craig travels to the worst affected region of Hatay. When President Erdoğan visited the disaster area back in February, he vowed to rebuild within a year, so can he keep that promise? Victoria speaks to residents who are still waiting to hear about permanent homes. And we ask whether new homes will be safe enough to survive another natural disaster? Presenter: Victoria Craig Producer: Gonca Tokyol (Image: Reconstruction in Hatay)
