>40,000 MAY LIE DEAD IN RUINS OF TURKISH CITIES
>A TOWN DESTROYED: 'God damn the filthy people who built this house. Look at
>this "iron" rod. You call this "iron"?' No, we could not. It was only a few
>centimetres thin, a pathetic support for the walls which fell in on each
>other like paper on Tuesday.'
>By Robert Fisk in Istanbul THE FATALITIES from the destruction around
>Istanbul could well reach 40,000, far in excess of Turkey's official death
>toll - which last night stood at 6,325 - making Tuesday's earthquake the
>most devastating to hit the country this century.
>Because the government is counting only those bodies so far recovered from
>the ruins it has woefully underestimated the tragedy that has struck
>western Turkey, leaving international aid agencies ignorant of the extent
>of the disaster and the diseases that will follow.
>In Golcuk, in the bay of Izmit, the official death toll still stands at
>only a few hundred, even though a massive tidal wave swamped many
>devastated homes in the immediate aftermath of the quake. The town's mayor
>believes that the real figure for Golcuk alone is probably 10,000. In the
>smashed town of Yalova, on the Sea of Marmara, hundreds of people lie
>buried beneath whole apartment blocks and the fatalities there seem certain
>to reach Golcuk's probable figure.
>Turkish geologists have already expressed astonishment at the 6,000 figure
>announced by the government.
>If the worst suspicions prove to be true - and the stench of decaying human
>remains pervades almost all of Yalova - then Tuesday's catastrophe was even
>greater than Turkey's previous record earthquake, when 32,962 people died
>on 26 December 1939 in tremors that were measured as high as 7.9 on the
>Richter scale.
>Although Tuesday's earthquake was initially calculated at 6.7, seismic
>experts say that the epicentre registered a magnitude of 7.4.
>Bulent Ecevit, the Turkish Prime Minister, announced yesterday - well over
>two days after the earthquake - that camps were to be opened for the
>hundreds of thousands of civilians camping out each night like a medieval
>army on the streets and public parks of Turkey's North-western cities.
>With midday temperatures of 30C and perhaps more than 30,000 bodies still
>unburied, the danger of cholera outbreaks is all too evident. Yet in many
>areas, government help has still not reached survivors desperate to find
>relatives who may - and this is an ever more unlikely possibility - still
>be alive beneath hundreds of tons of collapsed concrete.
>Even government claimsthat the fires which broke out at the Izmit oil
>refinery have been brought under control appear to be untrue. Water-bombing
>by air force transport aircraft and helicopters looks good on television
>but has had no effect. Indeed, the fires are said to be spreading;
>yesterday, the column of black smoke above the refinery had stretched more
>than 30 miles down the bay of Izmit.
>Public anger is being directed not only at the construction companies that
>jerry-built the shoddy, death-trap apartments in which so many have died
>but
>at SuleymanDemirel, the country's President. Anger grew when it was
>discovered that the statement he made after Tuesday's tragedy - "the state
>is strong," he said, "and the earthquake's wounds will be tended to" - was
>identical to those he made after earlier earthquakes in Adana and Ceyhan.
>When Mr Demirel set off to see the victims and their wrecked homes in
>Istanbul on Tuesday, his courtege blocked main roads for more than an hour,
>delaying many people who were desperate to leave the destroyed Avcilar
>area.
>
>Still there are victims found alive amid their crumpled homes. A small boy
>was rescued in Golcuk yesterday, while an Austrian army rescue team found a
>15-year-old girl able to talk to them from the basement of a crumpled house
>in Yalova.
>But for every success, there are far more stories of heartbreaking
>inefficiency or indifference. Again and again in Yalova yesterday, I found
>men and women pleading for cranes to rescue relatives who still lay under
>rubble. But at one location outside Yalova - where trade union officials
>and
>their wives were said to be among the possible victims - a convoy of
>trucks,
>cranes, diggers and two ambulances were in attendance. Even amid such
>biblical carnage, it seems, some are more equal than others.

>Ismail Cem have talked by phone with their Greek counterparts and expressed
>Turkey's gratitude.
>Even the government of Cyprus, which Turkey does not recognize, and
>neighboring Armenia, which has no diplomatic ties with the Turkish
>government, have offered aid.
>Some of the help has come from within Turkey. The volunteers who rescued
>Sever, the young woman who was trapped in her crumbled apartment building,
>are part of AKUT, a Turkish nonprofit emergency search-and-rescue

>business
>executives, bankers, engineers - who each time there is a natural disaster
>rush to the scene on a voluntary basis. They have been especially active in
>regard to the earthquake and have been working with foreign rescue teams.

>Istanbul to the Kocaeli province 100 miles away. The government has
>proclaimed disaster areas and has authorized local administrators to make
>use of all public and private resources, including cars and trucks.
>Thousands of buildings have collapsed, and immediately following the

>buildings. But anger and criticism is now moving to the shortcomings of
>local authorities, and the central government in providing the necessary
>assistance. Many academics and newspaper commentators have joined in the
>popular chorus of criticism over the lack of organization and inefficiency.
>One problem of far-reaching implications is the number of homeless people.
>Hundreds of thousands have camped out in public parks, in school gardens,
>and even on highway medians. Some people have homes to return to, but they

>I've never seen anything like this in my life."
>By comparing the quake to combat, he may have found the right description.

>As I entered Izmit yesterday, I could see cars and trucks packed with
>refugees and their life's possessions, fleeing the city.
>On the outskirts of the city, the sun disappears. The sky is blotted out by
>a huge black cloud of smoke from Izmet's still-burning oil refinery, the
>biggest oil complex in the country.
>The authorities have announced that the refinery blaze is finally under
>control. But giant balls of flame continued to billow above the oil tanks
>yesterday, and helicopters flew into the smoke to drop chemical foam on the
>fire. "If there is wind, it could spread again," a worker acknowledged.
>The fire is likely to keep burning for several days. In the meantime, the
>neighbourhood near the refinery is eerily silent and empty. Almost every

>"We haven't seen any help -- nothing except some bread," Zubeyde Sener
>said.
>"We need candles and tents. We're afraid at night."
>Many survivors are bitter at what they consider the government's inadequate
>response. Often they had to claw through the wreckage themselves to rescue
>their relatives. "You see," said Kazim Azak, standing near a destroyed
>building. "There is no organization. There is no state."
>Rescue workers are convinced that many victims are still alive. "It's a
>fight against time," said Fred Lauener of the Swiss government's
>disaster-relief unit. "Normally, after three days without water, they will
>be in critical condition."
>Another Swiss rescuer, Urs Loeffel, crawled into a two-metre hole in a
>building where a child was thought to be alive.

>The hospital's main building was cracked by the quake and had to be
>evacuated. A few doctors venture inside the building to search for medicine

>Sezer Komsuoglu, a senior doctor at the hospital, worries that the rotting

>One of the hospital's most talented young surgeons, Hulya Gundogdu, was so
>dedicated to her job that she had moved into an apartment block on the edge
>of the hospital grounds. She wanted to live as close as possible so she
>could visit her patients in the evening. Instead, the apartment became her
>tomb. The earthquake toppled it like a house of cards, and the idealistic
>young doctor was buried inside.
>"She was such a beautiful girl," Dr. Komsuoglu said. "She was one of our
>best doctors. I can't understand how God could do this to her. It's so
>sad."
>Dr. Komsuoglu took me to the nearby neighbourhood to show me the building
>where her favourite surgeon perished. Up and down the street, six buildings
>had collapsed, killing three doctors. Of the 150 doctors on her staff, 15
>were killed by the quake.
>A few minutes earlier, I had seen the young surgeon's brother visiting Dr.
>Komsuoglu in the operating theatre. He asked her to sign his sister's death
>certificate. Overcome by grief, she could not bring herself to do it.
