Giving hope - Earthquake in Turkey

No. 1731
distressed
Turkey

The earthquake has brought great misfortune. Grown, rough men stand there and cry because they lost their whole existence in just a few minutes. "It was terrible... we didn't know where to run, nothing had a firm footing, it was bad, it was terrible, you can't describe it in words." - said the earthquake victims. An 8-year-old boy told us that many houses and schools in the area were destroyed. All his friends have left the earthquake area with their families.  

Three months have passed since the earthquake. But thousands of people still need very simple help. The employees of the relief service were able to see what was happening on the ground and hand over food and hygiene packages to those in need. The people, who currently have to hold out in tents, were happy and accepted the help with great gratitude.
