The damages due to the devastating earthquakes in Turkey is estimated to be over $34 billion, as per the World Bank. That's equivalent to about 4% of the country's GDP in 2021. 

Turkey earthquake: World Bank estimates the damage cost at $34 bn

The damages due to the devastating earthquakes in Turkey is estimated to be over $34 billion, as per the World Bank. That's equivalent to about 4% of the country's GDP in 2021.&nbsp;

The devastating February 6 earthquake and aftershocks that hit southern Turkey have caused damage worth more than $34 billion in the country, the World Bank said on Monday.
The amount is equivalent to four percent of Turkey's GDP in 2021, the Washington-based institution said, adding that the estimate does not account for the costs of reconstruction that were "potentially twice as large," a statement said. World bank also mentions the Global Rapid Post-Disaster Damage Estimation (GRADE) Report, which focuses on the direct physical damages in T&uuml;rkiye. The GRADE report says that 1.25 million have been rendered temporarily homeless.&nbsp;
On February 9, the World Bank announced an initial package of $1.78 billion to help relief and recovery efforts.&nbsp;
&ldquo;This disaster serves as a reminder of T&uuml;rkiye&rsquo;s high risk to earthquakes and of the need to enhance resilience in public and private infrastructure", said Humberto Lopez, World Bank Country Director for Turkey
The estimate also does not take into account the damage caused in northern Syria, also particularly affected by the earthquakes, with a World Bank estimate of the costs there to be released on Tuesday.
The World Bank warned that the continuing aftershocks are likely to increase the total amount of damage caused by the disaster.

Turkey bans layoffs as earthquake sends tremors through fragile economy

Turkey, which was already battling runaway inflation and relying on rich allies for funding to keep its economy afloat, has launched a temporary wage support scheme and banned layoffs in 10 cities

Turkey was already battling runaway inflation, which had reached over 80% in October last year, and was relying on rich allies for funding to keep its economy afloat when a massive earthquake killed tens of thousands, razed entire cities and left millions needing urgent help.
The earthquake, which has killed over 46,000 people has added to the woes of the already flailing economy with massive reconstruction costs.&nbsp;
According to the Turkish Enterprise and Business Confederation, the quake is expected to cost the country up to $84.1 billion. The Turkish Enterprise and Business Confederation said that the costs comprise $70.8 billion to repair homes, $10.4 billion from loss of national income and $2.9 billion from loss of working days.
A financial express report quotes Murat Kubilay, an independent financial advisor on the Turkish economy, who said that the quake will slow the economic activity on the national level and the recovery from it will not happen before 2024
For now, Turkey launched a temporary wage support scheme and banned layoffs in 10 cities to protect workers and businesses from the financial impact of the massive earthquakes that hit the south of the country earlier this month.
According to reports, employers whose workplaces were &ldquo;heavily or moderately damaged&rdquo; would benefit from support to partially cover wages of workers whose hours had been cut, the country&rsquo;s Official Gazette said on Wednesday.&nbsp;

Twitter to set to charge a key tool, which several volunteer software developers are using to as for calls for help – including from people trapped in collapsed buildings – and connect people with rescue organisations

Turkey, Syria earthquake: Twitter's plan to charge for crucial tool prompts outcry

Twitter to set to charge a key tool, which several volunteer software developers are using to as for calls for help &ndash; including from people trapped in collapsed buildings &ndash; and connect people with rescue organisations

In the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria, thousands of volunteer software developers have been using a crucial Twitter tool to comb the platform for calls for help &mdash; including from people trapped in collapsed buildings &mdash; and connect people with rescue organisations.
They could lose access as soon as Monday unless they pay Twitter a monthly fee of at least $100 &mdash; prohibitive for many volunteers and nonprofits on shoestring budgets.
&ldquo;That's not just for rescue efforts which unfortunately we're coming to the end of, but for logistics planning too as people go to Twitter to broadcast their needs,&rdquo; said Sedat Kapanoglu, the founder of Eksi Sozluk, Turkey's most popular social platform, who has been advising some of the volunteers in their efforts.
Nonprofits, researchers and others need the tool, known as the API, or Application Developer Interface, to analyze Twitter data because the sheer amount of information makes it impossible for a human to go through by hand.
Kapanoglu says hundreds of &ldquo;good Samaritans&rdquo; have been giving out their own, premium paid API access keys (Twitter already offered a paid version with more features) for use in the rescue efforts.
But he says this isn't &ldquo;sustainable or the right way&rdquo; to do this. It might even be against Twitter's rules.
Monday is the deadline Twitter set for shutting off free access to its API, an added challenge for the thousands of developers in Turkey and beyond who are working around the clock to harness Twitter's unique, open ecosystem for disaster relief.

"Our goalkeeper, Ahmet Eyup Turkaslan, lost his life after being under the collapse of the earthquake. Rest in peace," the club wrote on Twitter.

The Turkey and Syria earthquake, in which over 21,000 people have lost their lives could cause economic losses exceeding $4 billion: report&nbsp;

The earthquake that has devastated Turkey and Syria could cause economic losses exceeding $4 billion, ratings agency Fitch said on Thursday.
More than 21,000 people have died so far in the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on Monday, and the toll is expected to rise as rescuers comb the rubble for survivors.
"Economic losses are hard to estimate as the situation is evolving, but they appear likely to exceed" $2 billion and could reach $4 billion "or more", Fitch Ratings said.
Insured losses will be much lower, possibly around $1 billion, due to low insurance coverage in the area, it added.

1 Indian missing, 10 stranded in quake-hit Turkey: MEA

The Centre on Wednesday informed that an Indian who had visited Turkey on a business trip has gone missing following earthquake that has killed more than 8,500 people in the country

Ten Indians are stuck in remote parts of Turkey after the country was hit by two "biggest natural disaster" earthquakes, but they are safe while one citizen is missing, Ministry of External Affairs Secretary (West) Sanjay Verma said.
"There are 10 individuals who are stuck in some remote parts of the affected area but they are safe. We have one Indian national missing, who was on a business visit to Turkey's Malatya. And he has not been traced for the last two days. We are in touch with his family and the company in Bengaluru," Verma said during the special briefing on 'Operation Dost.
He also said that the mission, which was set up in Ankara, had received 75 per cent of calls asking for more information and assistance.
While addressing the presser, Verma gave more details about the Indian community residing in Turkey. There are 3,000 Indian nationals in Turkey, about 1,850 residing in and around Istanbul about 250 in Ankara, and the rest of the others are residing across the country. "The Indian community in Turkey is in fatal danger... Three Indians approached us and have moved to a safer habitation and are doing all right," Secretary (West) said.
While giving the details about the medical assistance that India is providing to Turkey and Syria, National Disaster Response Force DG Atul Karwal said that under 'Operation Dost,' the first team landed at Adana airport and the second was diverted to Urfa because Adana was crowded. Both of them are being converged at Nurdagi which is in Gaziantep Province, one of the worst affected areas.
"The third team's requirement was sent to us. It was under preparation in Varanasi and was airlifted and brought to Delhi today. I met them at Hindon Airport. In the next few hours, they would depart with 51 rescuers, a canine complement and 4 vehicles," Karwal said.
"We have more teams in reserve because we don't know how many more teams will be required. The damage is extensive across a very large area and we are prepared to render whatever help any additional teams that India can provide to Turkey in this time of crisis," he added.&nbsp;

Rescuers in Turkey and war-ravaged Syria searched through the frigid night into Tuesday, hoping to pull more survivors from the rubble after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake killed more than 4,000 people and toppled thousands of buildings across a wide region.
Authorities feared the death toll from Monday's pre-dawn earthquake and aftershocks would keep climbing as rescuers looked for survivors among tangles of metal and concrete spread across the region beset by Syria's 12-year civil war and refugee crisis.
Hundreds of families remained trapped in the rubble, the White Helmets said in a statement.
Rebel-held northwestern Syria is packed with some 4 million people displaced from other parts of the country by the war.
Many live in buildings that are already wrecked from military bombardments.
The White Helmets described the situation in the enclave as "disastrous."
The opposition-held area, centered on the province of Idlib, has been under siege for years, with frequent Russian and government airstrikes.
The territory depends on a flow of aid from Turkey for everything from food to medical supplies.
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said 224 buildings in northwestern Syrian were destroyed and at least 325 were damaged, including aid warehouses.
&nbsp;
The U.N. had been assisting 2.7 million people each month via cross-border deliveries, which could now be disrupted.
