the last major quake hit in 1999 near the northwestern city of izmit, killing more than 17,000 people north-eastern turkey is extensive. homes that weren't built to withstand earthquakes simply collapsed in on themselves. to try to prevent such catastrophic collapses, turkish building regulations were strengthened. professor mehmet aydinoglu was asked to write these new rules. this is a guide for engineers and it contains the rules for good, safe building design. we have a good seismic design code. i believe it's one of the best in the world. but because of the lack of proper implementation, we face such a terrible situation. some developers and construction firms didn't follow the rules. rather than enforce them, the government declared an amnesty, allowing firms to pay if their building didn't meet the regulations. the government, it declared this amnesty, and these illegal buildings, they're all legalised. this is unbelievable, actually, this is unbelievable. an estimated 75,000 buildings across southern turkey have been given these amnesties. this is not a disaster that we are hav

the country's citizens are criticizing the government for not learning from the devastating i999 izmit. this was mainly due to the collapse of residential buildings, sparking public outcry against private contractors — some of who were criminally prosecuted, but very few were found guilty. in these recent days, the public sentiment is that despite the government cracking down on rogue contractors, sub—standard housing has still been built over the years to no consequences for companies. this is what i heard from the head of civil and urinary... here's what i heard from ayhan irfanoglu, head of civil engineering at purdue university in indiana. i think the lessons, checking for compliance on the municipalities... the code _ compliance on the municipalities... the code is— compliance on the municipalities... the code is there and it is a good one, _ the code is there and it is a good one, but enforcing it is an issue. it's a _ one, but enforcing it is an issue. it's a very— one, but enforcing it is an issue. it's a very local level issue. if the design does not get built, you end up with

of turkey took the lives of more than 30,000 people , another deadly earthquake shook the region of izmitthe victims were almost 17,000 residents, and the authorities seriously took up the task of reducing the risks of earthquakes , active urbanization was recognized as one of the causes of the disaster in the middle of the 20th century, with its hasty and chaotic construction, after the earthquake in turkey, the legislation was changed and mandatory inspections of construction projects and structures were introduced for durability, and residents doubted their quality. where we are at that time was under water, everything was built on reclaimed land. tomorrow there will be another earthquake, this will be one of the first places to disappear, international experts admit that the scale of the current disaster is huge, however, in coordination with the local authorities, they manage to establish the work of humanitarian headquarters, this indeed, the scale of the disaster exceeds the capabilities of each country, but it is true that turkey, including the turkish red crescent, with whom we w

these standards were introduced after an earthquake in izmit in 1999 which killed 17,000 people.they are enforced. and in many cases, that hasn't happened. so—called construction amnesties allow owners of illegal buildings to receive an exemption in exchange for paying a fee. the last amnesty was in 2018. and over 50% of buildings in turkey, close to 13 million buildings, were constructed in violation of regulations. this earthquake's scale means it would always have claimed lives, but the standard of some of turkey's buildings in part explains how many lives have been lost. ros atkins, bbc news. here, the disasters emergency committee launched its charity appeal for earthquake victims, and people who have family members in the affected areas have been responding. 0ur midlands correspondent, navteonhal, has been speaking to some of them. ali in nottingham is speaking to his brother in hatay, in southern turkey. he's homeless, but he's alive — one of the lucky ones. but six of their relatives were killed in monday's earthquake. it's terrible and, you know, i've... i want to go, an

i in 1999 in the izmit earthquake . so they the izmit earthquake.he problem. they but the problem with precursor gases is that you have frequent , is that you have frequent, frequent earthquakes . and it's frequent earthquakes. and it's not possible to see if that leading to something. well until you get the big one and then you look back and, you say, oh, that was the case. the prediction of earthquakes is not at the moment you just have to be well prepared in the turks. oh prepared in the turks. oh prepared for this. they have efficient, well organised system. but as you can see from the pictures there when system faces something like that, they need all the help they can get. yeah, it does appear that you know some buildings have survived and others have just panic . and many of these panic. and many of these concrete buildings saw huge of flooring and walls going down, trapping people . i mean, trapping people. i mean, presumably got some kind of standard. they to be built to in a known earthquake area or is it literally that that perhaps areas
