The damage caused by the powerful earthquakes in southern Türkiye reached about $103.6 billion, which is estimated to amount to "about 9 percent of Türkiye's gross national income in 2023 and six times more than the 1999 Marmara earthquake," the Turkish Finance Ministry said Friday.

There are still 9,881 earthquake victims under hospital treatment, and 1,834 of them in intensive care, Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca added.
