Buildings can be seen razed to the ground, with many others barely standing as rescue efforts continue. Hatay is one of the hardest hit parts of Turkey with aid and rescue teams arriving slowly in the region, fuelling anger against the government. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan acknowledged shortcomings in the initial response, but committed to rehousing displaced people within a year. Hatay is Turkey's southernmost province.

Rescue efforts have been ongoing for three days in Turkey and Syria, with the death toll passing 16,000.
