Three Years On: Türkiye After the Earthquake

Three years after the 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes, Türkiye’s recovery is unfolding as more than a reconstruction effort—it is a multi-layered process of re-establishing everyday life and strengthening long-term resilience. This Info Pack offers a concise, data-led snapshot of what has changed across the affected provinces, tracing progress in permanent housing delivery and on-site transformation while also capturing the realities of continued transition, including the persistence of container living for many families.

Beyond shelter, it maps the recovery of the broader ecosystem: public investment and institutional coordination, the reactivation of local economies through support mechanisms, and the restoration of essential services—particularly health and education—through clear, accessible indicators. Short field reflections complement the figures, highlighting how recovery is experienced on the ground and why “normalisation” is as much social and psychological as it is physical.
