"Disaster of the century"
The World Health Organization has already warned of the fear of a secondary catastrophe that affects more people than the earthquakes themselves.
Thousands of survivors were left without their homes and They are living outdoors facing freezing temperatures, without water, without electricity and with very little food..

The opposition has accused Erdogan of failing to prepare for the quake and has questioned the spending of the $4.6 billion raised from the "earthquake tax"which was first imposed after the 1999 earthquake, which killed more than 17,000 people.
That tribute should have been allocated to the prevention of catastrophes and the development of emergency services.
Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of Turkey's main opposition party, said Wednesday that Erdogan's government "has not prepared for an earthquake for 20 years."
Erdogan defended his government's response, although he acknowledged that there were problems at the beginning and stressed in response to criticism that "it is impossible to prepare for a disaster of this magnitude."
