Anger in Turkey’s cultural jewel one year on from earthquake

- It was one year ago today that two devastating earthquakes hit southern Turkey and northern Syria.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
Around 60 thousand people lost their lives and tens of thousands of buildings were left in ruins.
As Turkey marks the anniversary, vigils across the country have seen grief mixed with anger.
Many berated the authorities for the slow pace of reconstruction, and the lack of accountability for the poor construction which led to so many buildings collapsing.
One of the worst hit cities was Antakya - the historical and cultural jewel of Turkey's south.
Vast swathes of the city were destroyed.
But people there are trying to rebuild their lives, as Emily Wither reports, in this piece filmed by Fadi Al Halabi, who lost many of his own family in the earthquake.

@@fspg3207 They are even better looking when in their own homeland across central Asia.
Today was first anniversary Hatay earthquake.Thank you very much much for your common sense Canal 4 News🙏
There NEED TO BE JUSTICE about WHY did a USA submarine suddenly appeared off the coast of Turkey ONE WEEK before this disaster happened. Turkiye has called for the USA to GET OUT but no .. they had to do this.
bruh ik that the US is a warmongering state which can't survive without selling weapons to 100 different countries but we don't have any real technology to create a minor tremor, let alone such a huge earthquake
A submarine caused an earthquake as disastrous as this one? What are you smoking?
Very resilient people . God bless you .
Some 96 percent of the buildings that collapsed or needed to be demolished due to the damages they sustains from the two massive earhquakes with around 3000 aftershocks, which is estimated to have the destruction force 10 times that of Kobe Japan were build during the times of previous governments with previous building regulations.
The current government when they were elected changed the construction codes which is why only 4 percent of the collaped buildings are from the new regulation era and they suffered damages either because the ground rose due to water rising beneath the earth or there were unregulatory steps taken during the construction, hence why some 32,000+ court cases of engineers, constructors, or people cutting columns of buildings to make more space !!! were held and many found guilty with misdoings.
For more info on all this I have a folder ''folder 13'' in my playlist.
Best wishes.
Do U believe your BS!Trying to give an excuse to Erdogan?You r traitor to your people!You r disgusting thousands lost their homes and families and U try to give Erdogan party an excuse?How much r u making ,U probably work for Erdogan!Shame on you!😢😢😢😢😢😢
2:35 I love how he calmly and clearly states all the essentials that the people of Turkey don't have and does this without outright blasting the people responsible for still not supply those essentials such as President Erdoğan as I'm more than sure we can all guess what would happen if he did.
Condolences to the families of those who perished in this terrible tragedy. With the benefit of hindsight, I sincerely hope that lessons will be learned this time and building safety laws will be reviewed thoroughly and vigorously to ensure that this doesn't occur again on Turkish soil. Prayers and resolve, not the usual lip service given by opportunistic career AK politicians or useless councillors
The buildings that were susceptible were constructed in the 80s and 90s.
@@skp8748 Yeah, but there were also the ones newly built that were destroyed by the earthquake. I think we do not have any problems with the laws but we don't enforce them properly.
People protested against the loval governance who are from the opposition party.
More facts about the earthquake in my folder (13- Quake....)
But they will cope insha'Allah
Isn't it Türkiye now? Since 2021 if I'm not mistaken in the sources I consulted. 🤔
no such letters exist in the English language. Turks should learn the English spelling.
@@Magneticvortex-kk4gb Why should they?
@@beewa8840 Why should Kurds speak Turkish?
@@Magneticvortex-kk4gb it'll always be Turkey to me, lol.
My friend donated many pork can to them hope it could save them
Why did your friend donate his mother ?
@@larrydickman5936 what do you mean? Pork can is delicious
@@xinma6034 sick troll
Yeah, very funny. Now drink your milk and go to bed.
@@aliatack19 you ate it as well love itv
While some of the comments here have merit on the bigger picture, this is a narrow topic. Is a fine video within that scope.
Turks don't care about this part of "Turkey" because it's mostly Kurdish. Why the Allied Forces gave Turks full reign on this and frankly Asia Minor in general mystifies me. Turks aren't from Turkey.
😲😲😲
Ur worse than a Pinnochio’S friend
@@cardanotony1097 Go find your truth in the Altai mountains.
bro as a turk i know this region isnt kurdish majority region and kurds live far east of turkey you ar good liar keep being good liar ok ?
Kurds is not majority in the earthquake-hit area.
@@dsaddfgs1186 Turks are the liars. Kurdistan and its people are the majority. Turks may have assimilated some areas but even then the people remain Kurdish even is they're in denial, claiming to be a Turk.
You can indoctrinate locals but you won't fool me.
God help the affected one, thr Turkish economy is not bouyant for such rebuilds.
Turkish economy is booming what are you talking about
@@skp8748 No, Turkish lira is very low compared to dollar and pounds. This made life difficult for the citizen who pay school fees in Euro and dollars.
@@blaizeakpakwu6147 currency and economy are two different things
@@skp8748 you are correct. The prices of things in Turkey have increased even though minimum wages increase. It's not only turkey, is almost every where.
@@blaizeakpakwu6147 yes it has... Turkish minimum wage has been increased several times in the last year
So what I don't live there
Awful
A bit disingenuous not showing any improvements and developments that Turkeye have made. Western reporting at its finest, shameless
The focus on this report is specifically about this very badly affected city? Its not a report on the "improvements and developments" nationwide, is it. You don't sound like you're a fan of any type of criticism of Turkey.
@@mwd331 Maui?
@@skp8748 ?
Why don’t you enlighten us about it then since we know thousands are still living in tents and not even all the rubbles are removed
Are they still blaming the government for the earthquake? 😂
No, I don't think they are. What's funny?
No
It’s institutional racism, as usual
They aren't blaming the government for the earthquake. They are blaming the government for the endemic corruption in the construction industry and its poor response.
I think you need to think a bit more before posting foolish comments
@@larrydickman5936 Think what you like
wht a stupid comment
So they all begged for asylum in Germany? Turks 😅
Nope !! Dont remember it and the turks re-elected their glorious islamic government, so they can't be that bothered 🤷🏼♂️.
Relevance?
You know, things are too complicated to grasp what's going on in Turkiye for the foreigners, and not everyone, even the people who voted in favor, is fond of the government. Half of the population voted for the government and the other half voted for the opposition. The government party won the elections with a slight difference even though many refugees were given citizenship before the election.
This channel spreads discord. This woman is lying. A house as big as a dubya has been built.
👍👍👍
#EmilyWither what an empty, misfortunate comment and weakest news is this? -"Government signed thousands of unregulated buildings", go revise the Government website and find out about regularly updated and implemented policies & regulations for building houses in Türkiye, respect and go search, and listen again what the people says who are explained their disastrous experiences on that video. Find out about what factors play a significant role in the collapsed buildings. Even in developed countries like in the UK there are housing shortages and only 230,000-250,000 houses are built every year. In Türkiye 680,000 houses/blocks of apartments have been destroyed and the Government ordered to build new houses within a year or so since the earthquake last year and planned to accommodate 1.25 million people who were affected by the earthquake. Numbers talks itself!...
migrants incoming🤣🤣
Turkey to shitty UK? Deluded 😂
The scenes are horrible, remember the islamist leader of turkey whilst doing nothing for these fellow Turkish people, will not investigate the corruption in buildings, and he stopped aid to go to Syria and still stops it, and is bombing Syria and kurds , turkey is disgusting but you won't see any Muslims marches for the people like you do Palestinians, selective compassion is all they have
Islamist leader 😲😲😲
Türkiye is a Muslim country mate , what’s wrong with that ?
@@cardanotony1097 Turkey is actually a secular country but erdogen is attempting to restore it to a Muslim country
@@michaelcalle2981 how?
