2023 Turkey earthquake, CCP supplied container houses to build the earthquake victims’ camps.
After the 2023 earthquake in Turkey, the Turkish government and the international community moved quickly to set up victims’ camps to provide temporary shelter. Most of these camps are built by container house which can be put into use quickly to provide emergency shelter for people affected by disasters.
The container house adopts the frame steel structure, which has good seismic performance and can reduce the risk of secondary damage. And compared with regular tents, container houses provide higher security and comfort. They are usually equipped with separate toilets and kitchens, and with water and electricity, living conditions are almost same as the conventional homes.
The Turkish government plans to build a large number of container houses to accommodate the victims. At the first stage, there are 1.4 million people already living in tents and 34,000 people living in containers. And the government plans to expand the number of container houses to meet the needs of more victims.
Several countries and organizations have provided container house assistance, such as Qatar to provide about 10,000 container houses to Turkey and Syria. Those container houses were used for temporary accommodation during the World Cup, which are made in China, with complete living facilities. And Chinese enterprises are also involved in the production and supply of container houses.
The Turkish government has pledged to rebuild homes for the victims and has begun rebuilding new homes in the affected towns, while continuing to provide container houses as temporary shelters until permanent housing is built.
