Numerous survivors reside in the container city of Umut Kent in Kahramanmaras. Local mental health support workers informed Sputnik that families seek their counsel due to anxieties stemming from the earthquakes and the loss of loved ones. Additionally, they express concerns regarding challenges related to living in containers, family issues, unemployment, and other circumstances arising from their new living arrangements.

A year ago, thousands of individuals found themselves trapped under the debris of collapsed residential structures, enduring freezing conditions. Merely nine hours later, another earthquake of 7.6 magnitude hit the same region, further shocking survivors already grappling with the aftermath.

 
The total damage from the devastating earthquakes exceeded $105 billion, with approximately 300,000 buildings across 11 provinces either destroyed or severely damaged.

Turkish authorities persist in their investigation into contractors associated with the collapsed buildings. Some of these contractors have fled abroad to evade trial, with many claiming that the structures were constructed under all regulations.
