HATAY - Citizens of Hatay, which has turned into a ghost town, continue to leave the city. While the citizens rebelled by saying, "The state that did not exist yesterday, does not exist today," HDP PM member Perihan Ağaoğlu emphasized that the city is intended to be depopulated.
 
According to the latest official data, 24 thousand 617 people lost their lives in the earthquake, the epicenter of which was Maraş and Gaziantep. In Hatay, where a great destruction was experienced in the earthquake, despite the 6 days that have passed, the problem of shelter and hygiene has not been solved yet. Although portable toilets are installed at a few points in the city, they are still insufficient. Again, while the water problem in the city cannot be solved, Hatay is facing a serious epidemic problem.
 
'THERE IS NO STATE'
 
While a large part of the city is turning into rubble, search and rescue efforts continue with all their inadequacies. While there are many citizens waiting to be rescued and rebelled that there is 'No State'. The gates of the dam were opened for 2 days, especially yesterday, by carrying out a policy of dehumanization from Hatay Defne and the center. State made the people under the disaster a little more anxious with the threat of flooding, it sent those who were waiting for their relatives here with the hope of a life, and revealed its own shame, deficiency and development plans. The government, which could not explain where the taxes collected by the people went, has used this road to empty all areas of Hatay with speculative discourses for 2 days. Hatay has almost turned into a ghost city.
