ISTANBUL (AA) – Turkish prefabricated building manufacturer Karmod has continued to produce mobile toilet and shower cabins for new constructions in southern and central Türkiye, which were hit hard by twin earthquakes in February last year.

The firm continues to manufacture the toilet and shower cabins with assistance from the United Nations International Organization for Migration (IMO), according to a press release issued on Thursday.

In this context, 778 WC and shower cabins manufactured in the last batch have begun to be shipped to the region.
