In Turkey, many people were forced to leave their homes after the earthquake and were forced to live in tents.
The Turkish government says more than 170,000 tents have been set up by the 16th, but the number of tents is still insufficient.
There are many people who cannot even live in tents, and securing housing where they can live with peace of mind is an issue.

Meanwhile, many Syrians fleeing the civil war have evacuated to the fruit and vegetable market in the same city after the disaster.

However, there is no cover like a roof, and it is said that it is not possible to protect the cold and privacy.
Amira said, ``We are receiving food and drinks, but what we need most now is a tent.
Aya, 18, a high school student, said, "I can't sleep because it's too cold here. The school building collapsed, the teachers died, and I can't attend classes. Now all I can do is wait for help." I can't do it and I'm very sad," he said.
