WAN, North Kurdistan, — Another earthquake at the magnitude of 4.9 shook the already wounded city of Wan today, ANF reports.
The situation in Wan is really critical with thousands sheltered in tents which become dangerous traps. Two children were killed on Friday when the stove ignited a fire and two others were injured.
In the meantime it is reported that an “earthquake commission” will be established within the next 15 days to conduct an Istanbul-wide assessment to identify and fix buildings that might have problems should an earthquake occurred, according to Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor Kadir Topbaş.
There are between 50,000 and 60,000 buildings in Istanbul that need to be demolished immediately, according to reports.
