The Agony and Anger Two Years Since Turkey's Devastating Quake Disaster

As the clock struck 417 am on a fateful Thursday two years ago, thousands of survivors in southern Turkey gathered at candlelit vigils, their pain and anger palpable as they commemorated the exact moment when a devastating earthquake struck, claiming over 53,000 lives in Turkey and 6,000 in Syria.

The Enduring Grief

Despite the passage of time, Emine Albayrak's words still resonate today Although two years have passed, we are still hurting. It still feels like it did on that first day. That hasn't changed. The grief remains raw, as if the tragedy occurred yesterday, rather than two years ago.

The Growing Outrage and Demand for Accountability

However, alongside the sorrow, there was a growing sense of anger and frustration. Mourners carried a massive banner reading We will not forget, we will not forgive. We will hold them accountable! The collapse of so many structures in one of the world's most earthquake-prone areas highlights the greed of unscrupulous developers and corrupt bureaucrats who rubber-stamped unsafe projects on unsuitable land.

The Pursuit of Justice

As the sun rose over Antakya, thousands chanted This was not an earthquake, this was a massacre! The pursuit of justice has led to the jailing of 189 people, with many more trials ongoing. For survivors like Sema Genc, whose home collapsed on top of her family, killing them all, the fear of another disaster is always present Whenever I enter a room, the first place I look is the ceiling would it hold up in an earthquake, or would I be trapped under the rubble? That fear is always with you.

The Ongoing Struggle

Two years on, nearly 670,000 survivors are still living in containers. While the government has handed out keys to over 201,500 homes, much work remains to be done. As President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said We will continue our rebuilding and restoration efforts with hard work, sweat, patience, and an iron will until our cities are back on their feet.

The Looming Fear

However, there is a new fear lurking in the shadows repeated earthquakes in the Aegean Sea near Santorini have raised concerns about a major tremor that could affect southwestern Turkey. Urban planning minister Murat Kurum warned Istanbul does not have the strength to withstand another earthquake like the one in 1999, which killed 17,000.

The Human Cost

As the world marks two years since the devastating quake disaster, it is essential to remember the human cost over 53,000 lives lost in Turkey and Syria. The pain and anger are still raw, but there is also a determination to rebuild and restore hope in the face of tragedy.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
