about 300 thousand new residential buildings should be built in the survivors of the Turkish regions to replenish the lost housing stock. This was reported by the newspaper Yeni şafak.
According to her, as a result of a large -scale inspection, it was revealed that more than 211 thousand buildings received severe or critical damage. In total, about 370 thousand buildings were examined. In 10 injured provinces, it will be necessary to re -build 400 thousand buildings, of which about 300 thousand are a housing stock. The Office for Residential Development of Turkey has already begun to implement the recovery plan. At the first stage, it will erect 30 thousand buildings, by June this figure will increase to 100 thousand.
Experts revealed that 98% of destroyed buildings are buildings erected before 1999, when the country survived a destructive earthquake. The reason for the collapse of most buildings, this time, experts called the thinning of soils under the foundations of buildings. This happened due to the lack of correctly built underground communications and omissions of engineers in design and construction.
