reconstruction will cost at least 100 billion euros

In Antioch (Turkey), few buildings withstood the impact of the earthquake that occurred a month earlier in Turkey and Syria. Journalist Diane Schlienger reports on site. “This is only a first estimate, but according to the World Bank, the reconstruction will cost 100 billion euros, and again, this only concerns Turkey“, she says. According to experts, it will cost even more to rebuild in a stronger and more ecological way.

684,000 buildings affected

In the city, architects and engineers walk the streets to assess the stability of buildings. “A total of 684,000 have been affected“, announces the journalist. We will have to either consolidate them or rebuild them completely. The Turkish economy is in crisis, so the authorities are calling for international solidarity.
