Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has declared a state of emergency in 10 provinces devastated by two earthquakes that have killed more than 5,200 people, Reuters reports .


The President said that 54,000 tents and 102,000 beds have been sent to the affected areas. At the moment, more than 53,000 rescuers are working in the earthquake zone. He also added that at the first stage, 100 billion liras (about $5.3 billion) were allocated for emergency assistance.

Meanwhile, residents of the affected Turkish cities are angry at the slow response of the authorities to what happened. According to the representative of the United Nations, thousands of children may be under the rubble.

Numerous videos of destruction and analysis of rubble are published on social networks. Some of the bottoms show children found alive and rescued. The 7-year-old girl kept her hand on her little brother's head to protect him as they lay under the rubble for 17 hours.

It was possible to find and save a 5-year-old girl who spent 37 hours under the rubble in Turkey.

Turkish Airlines operated 80 flights, delivering almost 12,000 volunteers to the earthquake zone who volunteered to help clean up the rubble. Volunteers in different countries collect humanitarian aid.
