Two years later, humanitarian needs in Hatay remain significant.<\/p>\n
Despite significant reconstruction efforts, many families in Hatay continue to live in temporary housing units. Overcrowding, inadequate sanitation facilities, and limited access to hygiene products in these environments have exacerbated health risks, leading to an increase in infections and diseases related to poor hygiene and unsafe water.<\/p>\n
The psychological impact of the disaster remains profound. Survivors are grappling with mental health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Addressing these interconnected physical and mental health needs is crucial for the region's recovery.<\/p>\n
\"Two years after the earthquakes, the scars\u2014both physical and emotional\u2014are still visible in Hatay. Our work to rebuild lives and restore hope continues, but there is still much to be done. We remain steadfast in our mission to provide comprehensive health and social services, and we call on all stakeholders to join us in ensuring that no one is left behind in this recovery process,\" states Hakan Bilgin, President of M\u00e9decins du Monde, underscoring the importance of continued action in the earthquake-affected region.<\/p>\n
