Gaziantep governor announced that one hundred percent of Nurdağı district will be demolished
Gaziantep is located in the south of Kahramanmaraş as a neighboring province. Therefore, Gaziantep was damaged in both major earthquakes and additional aftershocks. As a result, demolitions occurred in the districts in proportion to the variability.
So much so that Gaziantep’s Nurdağı district is among the places that suffered the most damage. Osman Bilgin, the governor of Gaziantep, announced that they took the first decision together with Nurdağı, one of the districts, due to the insufficient repair and strengthening activities.

We have a building with 150 bodies coming out of an apartment. It will be rebuilt.”
