Abstract
On the 6th of February 2023, south-eastern Türkiye was struck by two major earthquakes, measuring 7.7 and 7.6 on the Richter scale, respectively. These seismic events marked the most potent recorded earthquakes in Türkiye since 1939. The impact of these earthquakes was devastating, affecting 11 provinces profoundly. The casualties amounted to 53.537 deaths and 107.204 injuries. Official records indicate that over 40.000 earthquakes were recorded in theseprovinces after the initial earthquake. To address the imperative for a thorough understanding, the current study aims to trace internally displaced people’s working and living conditions after the 6th of February earthquakes in 2023 in new resettlement areas, in Ankara and Adana, respectively. United Nations Human Rights Council defines internally displaced person as someone who have been “forced or obliged to flee or to leave their homes or places of habitual residence, in particular as a result of or in order to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalised violence, violations of human rights or natural or human-made disasters and who have not crossed an internationally recognised border”.
