CONTAINER cities in the Turkish southeastern province of Adiyaman will house 10,000 quake-hit families by the end of March, reports Istanbul's Anadolu Agency.
"By the end of March, we will start housing nearly 10,000 families in container cities (in Adiyaman). We will have completed this by April," said Turkish Transport Minister Adil Karaismailoglu.
Mr Karaismailoglu stated they created 15 container areas in Adiyaman, adding they will produce solutions to make quake victims comfortable in temporary living spaces.
With railways taking a significant role in evacuating and transporting 100,000 people from the region, Mr Karaismailoglu stated they transported 30,000 people by sea, especially with passenger ferries from the Port of Iskenderun in southern Hatay province.
"We have evacuated nearly 700,000 citizens from a total of nine airports in the earthquake zone," said Mr Karaismailoglu.
While evacuating 100,000 citizens at Adiyaman Airport, they had the opportunity to transport thousands of tons of cargo to quake-hit victims.
"We transported nearly 700,000 citizens by air, nearly 100,000 by rail, and around 30,000 by sea in the earthquake zone," said Mr Karaismailoglu.
Besides economic benefits, transportation infrastructure projects in the last 20 years contribute to logistics in disaster situations.
