FACTSHEET OCTOBER-DECEMBER 2023

By September, there was a large shift of affected households from tents to containers. Despite the drop, DTM’s neighborhood site mapping exercise in October indicated that 88,000 households were still in tents and were likely to remain in tents through the winter unless provided with alternative hosting arrangements.

In addition, there were approximately 50,000 foldable containers distributed to host EQ-affected households in this period in rural areas and in sites hosting refugees in Adiyaman and Hatay.

September 2023

FACTSHEET JULY-SEPTEMBER 2023

By March, one month after the earthquake, there were 2.6 million displaced individuals living in tents in the EQ-affected provinces. Following the national elections in Turkiye at the end of May, there were large-scale relocations by government authorities leading to closure of tent sites and clusters, especially in urban centres. There was lack of clarity in the government's response plans. The levels of uncertainty were a barrier in having a clear response plan because it was unclear where people would be transferred to.
