According to press reports, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has traveled to the area most affected by the earthquake. He plans to travel to Kahramanmaras, Hatay, and Pazarcik, the epicenter of the earthquake.

Many people have voiced outrage at the government’s apparent lack of response, with some saying that assistance has yet to arrive.

Arzu Dedeoglu, a woman from the Numune area of Iskenderun in southern Turkey, informed sources Friday night that her two nieces were trapped under the rubble and that no help had arrived for a day.

“We have two kids under the rubble, Aysegul, and Ilayda. They are gone now, I am sure they are already gone. Why couldn’t they have come earlier?”

Another survivor in the southern city of Antakya, Melek, 64, asked: “Where are the tents, where are food trucks?”

According to sources, she stated on Wednesday: “Unlike prior crises in our country, we haven’t seen any food distribution here. We escaped the earthquake, but we will perish here from hunger or cold.”

Others on social media said that the government’s reaction had severe flaws, with some stating that some of the hardest devastated areas had been overlooked.
