World Bank estimates Turkey earthquake damages at $34 bn

Washington [US], February 28: The devastating February 6 earthquake and aftershocks that hit southern Turkey have caused damages 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.
