Two Years On Turkey's Pain and Anger Endure as Quake Victims Demand Justice

As the clock struck 417 am on Thursday, thousands of survivors in southern Turkey lit torches and held vigils across cities to commemorate the devastating earthquake that struck two years ago. The magnitude 7.8 quake claimed over 53,000 lives in Turkey and 6,000 in Syria, leaving a trail of destruction and devastation.

The catastrophe remains fresh in the minds of survivors like Emine Albayrak, who spoke with Agence France-Presse Although two years have passed, we are still hurting. It still feels like it did on that first day. That hasn't changed. The pain and anger are palpable as Turkey marks the anniversary of one of its worst natural disasters.

The earthquake's impact was catastrophic, with nearly 40,000 buildings destroyed and over 200,000 others severely damaged in Turkey alone. Thousands were trapped under rubble for hours or days before help arrived. The disaster exposed the greed of developers and corrupt bureaucrats who prioritized profits over safety and lives.

As survivors gathered to remember the victims, their chants echoed through the night We will not forget, we will not forgive. We will hold them accountable! Anger and frustration boiled over as they demanded justice for those responsible for the tragedy.

Despite efforts by the government to rebuild and restore affected areas, many survivors remain displaced, living in containers or temporary housing. The government has provided nearly 201,500 homes to survivors, with promises of more to come by year's end. However, the road to recovery is long and arduous, and concerns about new earthquakes loom large.

Recent tremors near the Greek island of Santorini have raised concerns about a major quake that could affect southwestern Turkey. Urban planning minister Murat Kurum warned of a big one hitting Istanbul, which lies just 15 kilometers from the North Anatolian faultline.

The anniversary of the earthquake serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of pain and anger in driving change. It is crucial to acknowledge the emotional toll of such disasters and work towards ensuring that similar tragedies do not occur in the future.

In this blog post, we will explore the significance of pain and anger in the context of Turkey's quake disaster and discuss the need for accountability and justice.
