Search and rescue efforts have been terminated in İzmir following the Oct. 30 earthquake that claimed 114 lives.
The final efforts at the Rıza Bey Apartment, one of the 17 buildings that collapsed in central İzmir, was ended and removal of the debris began, said Mehmet Güllüoğlu, the chairman of Turkey’s disaster agency AFAD.
The agency said 137 out of 1,035 injured citizens are being treated at hospitals.
