Rescue team unearths USD 2 million cash under collapsed building after Turkiye earthquake

[ad_1]
In the aftermath of the earthquake that struck eastern Turkiye last week, a rescue team has made a stunning discovery. Amid the rubble, the team found $2 million in cash buried under a collapsed building.
The discovery was made by a rescue team in the city of Gaziantep, which was one of the hardest hit by the 6.8 magnitude earthquake. The cash was found buried under the wreckage of a four-story building that had collapsed during the quake.
According to local media reports, the building was believed to be the home of a wealthy businessman, and the cash was likely being kept in a safe. The discovery has led to speculation that there may be more hidden caches of cash in the area.

The Turkish government has been providing aid to the earthquake victims, and the discovery of the cash has raised questions about how the government will handle the funds. The government has not yet made a statement about the discovery, but it is expected that the funds will be used to help with the recovery efforts.
The earthquake that struck eastern Turkiye last week has left at least 41 people dead and over 1,600 injured. Rescue efforts are ongoing, and many people are still missing. The discovery of the cash has provided a glimmer of hope in the midst of the tragedy, and it is hoped that it will help to provide some much-needed relief to the people of Elazig.

Turkey detains building contractors as quake deaths pass 33,000

[ad_1]

Even though Turkey has, on paper, construction codes that meet current earthquake-engineering standards, they are too rarely enforced, explaining why thousands of buildings slumped onto their side or pancaked downward onto residents.
Turkish Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said Sunday that 134 people were being investigated for their alleged responsibility in the construction of buildings that failed to withstand the quakes, according to Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency. He said that three had been arrested pending trial, seven people were detained and seven other were barred from leaving the country.
Bozdag has vowed to punish anyone responsible, and prosecutors have begun gathering samples of buildings for evidence on materials used in constructions. The quakes were powerful, but victims, experts and people across Turkey are blaming bad construction for multiplying the devastation.
Authorities at Istanbul Airport on Sunday detained two contractors held responsible for the destruction of several buildings in Adiyaman, the private DHA news agency and other media reported. The pair were reportedly on their way to Georgia.
One of the arrested contractors, Yavuz Karakus, told reporters Sunday: “My conscience is clear. I built 44 buildings. Four of them were demolished. I did everything according to the rules,” the DHA news agency reported.
Two more people were arrested in the province of Gaziantep suspected of having cut down columns to make extra room in a building that collapsed, the state-run Anadolu Agency said.
A day earlier, Turkey’s Justice Ministry announced the planned establishment of “Earthquake Crimes Investigation” bureaus. The bureaus would aim to identify contractors and others responsible for building works, gather evidence, instruct experts including architects, geologists and engineers, and check building permits and occupation permits.
The detentions could help direct public anger toward builders and contractors, deflecting attention away from local and state officials who allowed the apparently sub-standard constructions to go ahead. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government, already burdened by an economic downturn and high inflation, faces parliamentary and presidential elections in May.
