More than 850,000 children are still displaced by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, according to Unicef. The earthquakes started a month ago in Turkey and, in addition to causing at least 51,000 deaths and 108,000 injuries, they demolished thousands of buildings. Since then, millions of people have had to leave their homes and stay elsewhere.

In Turkey, over 1.9 million people have been accommodated in temporary shelters. Unicef has explained that these shelters lack resources to meet basic needs, such as water, sanitation and health services. The organization stresses that 2.5 million children in the country need "urgent" humanitarian assistance.

Syria, the country with the most internal displacement in the world

In Syria, over 500,000 people have had to leave their homes over the past month. In addition, the displaced persons in the country before the disaster were 6.8 million, almost 3 million children. Syria is the country with the most internal displacement in the world. Adele Khodr, director of UNICEF in the Middle East and North Africa, stressed that the humanitarian needs that preceded the earthquake in Syria were "bigger than ever".

The question of housing, in view

One of the causes of the collapse of so many buildings in Turkey is the question of cheap urbanism. The Government has now announced that it has begun to build 30,000 homes and that they will be completed in a year. However, the public does not have much confidence in President Erdogan’s promises. In addition, many have had to rent housing after leaving their homes, which has led to a 45% increase in rent prices, according to the TSKB company in Istanbul.
