		</div><p>A magnitude 5.6 earthquake has shaken southern Turkey, three weeks after a catastrophic tremor devastated the region.</p>
<p>The quake centred in the town of Yesilyurt in Malatya province caused some already-damaged buildings to collapse, killing at least one person, the country’s disaster management agency (AFAD) said.</p>
<p>Another 69 people were injured as a result of the quake, AFAD’s chief Yunus Sezer told reporters. More than two dozen buildings were said to have collapsed.</p>
<p>A father and daughter who were trapped beneath the rubble of a four-storey building in Yesilyurt were rescued with injuries. The pair had entered the damaged building to collect belongings.</p>
<p>Elsewhere in Malatya, search-and-rescue teams were sifting through the rubble of two damaged buildings that toppled on top of some parked cars, HaberTurk TV reported.</p>

<p>Malatya was among 11 Turkish provinces hit by the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that devastated parts of southern Turkey and northern Syria on February 6.</p>
<p>That quake led to more than 48,000 deaths in both countries as well as the collapse or serious damage of 173,000 buildings in Turkey.</p>

<p>AFAD’s chief urged people not to enter damaged buildings saying strong aftershocks continue to pose a risk.</p>
<p>Close to 10,000 aftershocks have hit the region affected by the quake since February 6.</p>
<p>The World Bank said on Monday that it estimates the massive earthquake caused £28.4 billion in “direct damages” – equivalent to 4% of the country’s GDP in 2021.</p>
<p>The recovery and reconstruction cost could be much higher, potentially twice as large, the World Bank said, adding that GDP losses would also add to the earthquake’s cost.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, fans of Turkish soccer team Besiktas threw stuffed toys on the field during a match on Sunday to support children affected by the earthquake.</p>
<p>Toys and winter clothing were thrown on the stadium’s grounds to be donated to children in the earthquake-hit regions.</p>
