Many people who survived the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria are suffering from injuries. Medical teams from the Kurdistan region are helping the wounded. They visit homes and provide treatment and medicine for those in need. “As I approached the gate, the building collapsed. I managed to run... My sister and brother also ran. I fractured my leg"; "I have a broken leg and broken nose. When I was injured, I was rushed to the hospital. The hospital was damaged. There were no doctors there, so we returned home. There was no one there to receive us. There weren't even any ambulances." "In the first two days, we treated 1,300 to 1,400 patients, and in the following days we treated 900." More than five thousand people were injured as a result of the earthquakes in the cities of Afrin and Jindris. Meanwhile, housing construction continues in Turkey. Containers and tents are being set up in some cities in Gaziantep province, and some housing will be built from scratch and none of the buildings will be higher than three or four stories. We remind you that the strong earthquakes affected more than 13 million people in 11 Turkish provinces.
