An earthquake team has been established at the juncture where the Eastern Anatolian Fault Line intersects with the North Anatolian Fault Line in Tunceli, an eastern province.

New measures were taken in Tunceli, where scientists constantly warn of earthquakes, and in this context, container cities were built against earthquakes.

Due to the storm and the subsequent tornado in the quake-hit Kahramanmaraş's Pazarcık district, one person lost their life and 50 others were injured.

The tornado dislodged the tents and containers where quake survivors were staying, and the roofs of some buildings also fell on the tents.

One person died and 50 were injured in a tornado that broke out in the city of Pazarcik (Kahramanmaras province, Southeastern Turkey), Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said on Twitter, quoted by BTA.

Pazarcik was also the epicenter of the first destructive earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 on February 6 in Turkey.

More than 2.6 million quake survivors are staying in tents, and the number of containers will exceed 100,000 within a month, Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu has stated.

Minister Soylu had iftar with quake victims in the tent city in Pazarcık district, the epicenter of the first earthquake that struck on Feb. 6.
