ANKARA/DAMASCUS, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- People in quake-ravaged southwestern Türkiye and northern Syria are making every step count despite facing a long road to recovery.
Toppled buildings, deformed cars, and scatters of personal belongings have yet to be properly attended in swaths of regions struck by twin 7.7- and 7.6-magnitude earthquakes on Feb. 6, which have claimed more than 46,000 lives.
But debris removal is underway for the recovery of private properties in Hama, central Syria, Adiyaman of Türkiye, and many other affected regions, as part of the effort to minimize peoples' losses, and prepare them for a return to normal life in the near future.
