Members of the Physicians Union have filed a criminal complaint over the collapsing of the İskenderun State Hospital in Hatay, southern Türkiye.

At least 70 people lost their lives when a block of the hospital collapsed after the February 6 Maraş earthquakes.

The other blocks were evacuated after yesterday's 6.4 and 5.8 earthquakes centered in Hatay.

In their criminal complaint, the doctors cited a 2012 expert report stating that the block was not earthquake resistant. (AÖ/VK)
