In addition to hotels in coastal areas, student dormitories will also host the homeless from the earthquake.

As he watched closely the situation in the city of Diyarbakir, one of the hardest hit by the 7.7 and 7.6 magnitude tremors, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ordered universities to close until the summer. Teaching for students will continue online as during the pandemic.

"We have decided that all universities will be closed until the summer. The dormitories where students stay are available to citizens who have been affected by the earthquake. They have all turned into reception centers for the homeless. The transport of citizens will begin, removing them from tents and containers. For those people who want to live in a new apartment, we will enable them to continue their lives by giving them the rent bonus".

Erdogan reiterated once again that the new housing in the areas hit by the tremors will be completed within a year. Turkey is in national mourning until Sunday, while a state of emergency has been declared for 3 months.
