More than 70,000 houses will be built in earthquake-affected areas in Türkiye, the country's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said during his visit to the quake-struck Osmaniye province.
"Türkiye will breathe new life into its cities within a year. During this time, we plan to build over 70,000 houses with 200,000 apartments in them for our citizens," he said.
