The Third Earthquake Day When Istanbul Still Slept Outside

Istanbul residents continued sleeping in parks and tents for the third consecutive night following Wednesday's 6.2 magnitude earthquake, as aftershocks persisted throughout the day. AFAD and seismologists maintained constant updates, with Professor Naci Görür warning the recent tremors might have "advanced" the expected major Istanbul earthquake, citing a 47% probability.

Earthquake insurance gaps emerged as a significant concern, with reports indicating 40% of Istanbul homes lack coverage. Minister Kurum announced damage assessment progress, identifying the European side as source of 80% of damage reports.

The health condition of Sırrı Süreyya Önder remained critical, with his doctor describing efforts as "attempting a miracle." Political controversies continued with corruption investigations into Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, featuring allegations about security cameras being covered before meetings with "money safes." Constitutional Court cases progressed with CHP filing applications and President Erdoğan meeting the Constitutional Court President.
