A 9-storey building in Diyarbakir heavily damaged in earthquakes
A 9-storey building located in the Fırat Neighbourhood of the central Kayapınar district in Diyarbakır, Turkey, has sustained significant damage due to earthquakes centred in Kahramanmaraş.
The building had previously been evacuated by citizens, and a demolition decision was made for the structure. As demolition work was underway using construction equipment, the building suddenly collapsed.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the destructive power of natural disasters and the importance of ensuring the safety of buildings in earthquake-prone areas. Authorities are now working to address the aftermath of the collapse and ensure the well-being of those affected.
It is crucial for local governments and residents to prioritize building safety measures and preparedness in the face of potential disasters to minimize the impact on communities and prevent such tragic events from occurring in the future.
