VAN
Survivors of a strong earthquake which hit the eastern province of Van last year are set to receive their new apartment homes on October 23.
The construction of a total of 17,471 apartment houses has almost completed a year after the deadly magnitude-7.2 temblor which killed 600 people and injured more than four thousand others. Nearly 2,300 buildings were severely damaged.
The housing units were constructed by TOKI, Turkey's housing and development administration.
