Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan plans to step up rebuilding efforts after two deadly earthquakes and stick to an election timetable he declared earlier.
Türkiye stepped up work to clear away rubble from collapsed buildings on Monday, as rescue work wound down two weeks after major earthquakes killed more than 46,000 people in southern Turkey and northwest Syria.
More than 46,000 people have been killed in the earthquake that struck Türkiye and Syria and the toll is expected to soar, with some 345,000 apartments in Turkey now known to have been destroyed, and many still missing.
Rescue efforts in earthquake-hit Türkiye were winding down on Sunday, nearly two weeks after the country's deadliest disaster in the modern era, with many praying only for bodies to mourn.
