Earthquake victims in resettlement sites in Türkiye are in dire need of more heating devices, clothes and food to battle cold weather.
In Adana City, Adana Province, one of the hardest hit areas, the largest temporary resettlement site is situated in a park, where 196 tents were set up, taking in over 2,000 quake-affected people.
Around the tents, many were sitting around a fire to keep warm.
"Our houses were damaged in the earthquakes and will possibly be torn down, so we are waiting. It is cold! We need heating devices, food and clothes. Now we can only light a fire to keep warm," said a displaced woman Elif Nur Aydin.
Temperatures at night in Adana could drop to below freezing point these days, which is even harder for disaster-stricken children and elderly people.
There are six people in Aydin's and her younger sister's family, all huddling in one tent. Aydin said she is worried about the children and uncertainties that lie ahead.
"Our children are victims too. They can't sleep because of fear. We are in a very difficult situation."
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that if anyone prefers not to stay in tents, they can be transferred to hotels in safer areas and each affected family will receive a handout of 10,000 Turkish lira, or about 531 U.S. dollars. He vowed to rebuild homes in 10 disaster-affected provinces within a year.
The death toll from Monday's devastating earthquake in Türkiye and Syria has risen to 15,383, according to data released by authorities and rescuers.
