A moderately damaged building is considered as a building with cracks in the walls of the building and thin cracks in the load-bearing elements due to an earthquake.

Murat Kurum, Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change of the Republic of Turkey, said, “We continue to work on damage assessment with our experts in all provinces. So far, we have determined that 122 thousand 141 buildings and 66 thousand 58 independent sections throughout the country were destroyed or heavily damaged. In Gaziantep, 4 thousand 475 buildings, 12 thousand 423 houses, residences and workplaces were found to be heavily damaged and destroyed. I would like to state that the buildings should not be entered without making these determinations. Heavy, medium and collapsed buildings are not allowed. I would like to express that it can be used for less damaged and undamaged buildings after the detection works are completed,” he said.
