The number of the earthquake' victims that struck the city of Maraş in Bakur Kurdistan on February 6, with a magnitude of 7.7 and 7.6, is on rise.

In this context, the authority of the Turkish occupation state acts negligently, as it always does, so there are still thousands of people under the rubble, while civil institutions continue search work with the people with their available capabilities.

According to the reports received, there are many areas whose ruins have not yet been searched, and therefore the number of victims is increasing

According to the Emergency and Disaster Management Department in Turkey (AFAD), 6 thousand and 234 people lost their lives, and 37 thousand and 11 people were injured.

However, local sources say that the number of victims is much higher and the extent of damage is greater, and many areas are still waiting for help.
