Noting that the government, incapable of establishing container cities, could not even create tent cities, CHP members Aygun, Tokdemir and Karadeniz said, “The problem of shelter and heating continues. There are no tent cities proportional to the number of destroyed, heavily and moderately damaged buildings! Because they corrupted Kızılay’s genes, they made it unable to produce tents. Earthquake survivors are left to their fate!” made their findings. Explaining that they observe major problems in terms of sheltering, heating and living in humanitarian conditions in all districts, Vekiller said, “There are no materials suitable for daily life in tent cities, which are set up in small numbers.

Vekiller said, “There is a great damage in Kırıkhan. 375 buildings were destroyed, the number of buildings that had to be demolished urgently due to the earthquake was 395. The number of heavily damaged buildings was 4023. 3289 of our citizens lost their lives in the district. 1324 of our citizens were brought out from under the rubble. There are currently 448 tents set up in tent cities set up at five different locations. 3450 tents were distributed. 43 containers arrived in the district.

Noting that despite this, 200 AFAD tents are needed in Reyhanlı for individual reasons, Vekiller said, “The tent problem is a problem that the government still cannot manage.

There are no container cities, tent cities are insufficient and there are no materials suitable for daily life in them. There is a huge coordination problem. The government is insufficient to take the necessary measures after the earthquake as it was before the earthquake.
THEY FINISHED THE KIZILAY!
Two Deputies summarized the situation in Hatay’s districts and said, “There is a big coordination problem. The government does not take the necessary precautions after the earthquake as it did before the earthquake. Our citizens are left to their fate. They have corrupted the genes of this country’s successful institutions and rendered them inoperable. One of them is Kızılay. Red Crescent, which is pointed out in tent production and rushing to the aid of disaster victims in many countries of the world, cannot meet the needs of our own earthquake victims.
