After the earthquake in Kahramanmarash, which affected 11 provinces and provoked very serious destruction, more than 314 000 people applied for payments under DASK insurance policies. This is reported by the portal Emlak365, specifying that the payments have already exceeded 1.5 milliom Turkish lira (TL).
Recall that DASK disaster protection insurance policies became mandatory after the devastating earthquake in 1999. Despite this, many houses, unfortunately, did not have these policies at the time of the tremors: after all, it is the task of the owners to monitor their availability.
Nevertheless, many thousands of compensation applications have already been submitted. Most of all - in the province of Hatay: 61,650. It is followed by Malatya (54,514), Kahramanmarash (44,406), Gaziantep (36,402), Adiyaman (36,402), Osmaniye (20,848), Sanliurfa (15,993), Elazig (11,981), Diyarbakir (11,408).
The maximum amount of payment for one insurance policy reached 0.64 million TL.
The other day we told you that the inspection of buildings for earthquake resistance in Istanbul has started; not only homeowners, but also tenants can apply for this.
