So far, we have received a total of 1756 damage reports from our citizens in Istanbul, Bursa, Balıkesir, Tekirdağ, and Yalova, and approximately 80% of the reports from Istanbul were collected on the European side. The top three districts with the most reports are Avcılar, Esenler, and Bahçelievler. These districts received a higher volume of requests compared to the other remaining districts.

We found that there was no structural damage in 1467 of these reports. We have determined that there was no structural damage due to this earthquake and that a total of 83 of our buildings have been identified as slightly damaged based on the requests received so far.
