'So many of these people are now homeless, unfortunately, they won't be allowed to go back and they can't go back,' Ayhan Irfanoglu said. He remains in Turkey working to help those affected by the deadly earthquakes.
According to the Associated Press, authorities say more than 110,000 buildings across 11 quake-hit Turkish provinces were either destroyed or so severely damaged by the Feb. 6 quake that they need to be torn down.
Irfanoglu is in Turkey to share his knowledge with those teams. He spent time near the disaster site last week and says he doesn't know why some building survived the earthquake, but hopes field data will provide answers. "So many of these people are now homeless, unfortunately, they won't be allowed to go back and they can't go back," Irfanoglu said.He spent the first five years of his life near the town of İskenderun.
The Turkish disaster management agency AFAD on Monday raised the number of confirmed fatalities from the Feb. 6 earthquake in Turkey to 41,156. That increased the overall death toll in both Turkey and Syria to 44,844.
