The European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said the quake struck at a depth of just two km (1.2 miles) to leave a greater impact at ground level.
The Turkish President, Tayyip Erdogan said at the weekend that construction work on nearly 200,000 apartments in 11 earthquake-hit provinces in the country would begin next month.
The U.S. State Department also announced on Monday that humanitarian assistance to Turkey and Syria following the disaster had reached $185 million.
