Emergency response in Turkey: Volunteers join earthquake aid efforts 

I'm an American who arrived Turkey 30 some hours ago. Been working here non stop. Thank God 78 more fellow Americans joined us today. Turkish people do really need help.

I live in Turkey. I wanted to watch the news abroad to see how the news about the earthquake resonated in other countries around the world. And my hope for humanity was rekindled. On behalf of the people of my country, I thank you all for your good wishes. When I saw these good wishes about my country in the comments, I wanted to give some more detailed information to good people in different parts of the world. Writing may also reduce my stress a little bit. First of all, me and my relatives live in an area close to Istanbul, far from the earthquake zone, we are safe. But while thousands of people are under the rubble and battling the freezing cold, I am now feeling ashamed and guilty of being in my warm and safe home. But unfortunately we can't do anything but send help. Some roads leading to the earthquake area are fragmented due to the earthquake and the traffic density at the entrances of the region is very high. For now, we are not going to that area so that professional rescue teams and rescue vehicles can go before us. Everyone across the country is in mourning and worried about the earthquake zone. Unfortunately, there is a level of destruction that no state can be prepared for. An example for better understanding; The earthquake produced an energy equal to that of the largest bomb ever tested in the world. And it happened in a location where millions of people live densely. (2 times 9 hours apart) The earthquake victims and the teams that wanted to save them encountered the second earthquake before they could get over the shock of the first earthquake. So far, it has been announced that 5894 people have died. (This is the number of deaths yet determined. Unfortunately, it is thought that there are tens of thousands of people under the rubble. Because the earthquake occurred at an hour when everyone was asleep.) There are tens of thousands of injured, but unfortunately, there are also life-threatening ones among the injured. Cold-induced hypothermia, limb loss, etc. complications occur. In such a chaotic environment, all Turkish people put aside their perspectives on the world and became one punch to help earthquake survivors who were fighting both the debris and the freezing cold. All opposing views, politics, all fanaticism are disabled. There is only one common denominator, and that is humanity. Aid is collected in all the provinces that were not damaged in the earthquake, and everyone, regardless of the rich or poor, is trying to help the earthquake victims by forcing all the conditions. Everyone donates clothes, blankets, basic foodstuffs, generators, diapers. Parcels and sacks are carried from hand to hand at the collection points in the district centers, just like a chain. After the collected donations are categorized, they are loaded onto the trucks. It is sent to the earthquake zone. Rescuers are making a superhuman effort, but unfortunately, hopes are dwindling due to the cold. On behalf of my country, I thank Azerbaijan, Spain, Russia, Japan, Pakistan, England, Malaysia, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Bulgaria, France, China and many other countries and their peoples.

May God bless every country, every organization, and every individual that is helping the people of Turkey. Thank You.

May Allah make easy for you all Brothers and Sisters in Turkey..Ameen Ya Rabb My deepest condolences to the families of the victims. This is the news from my country : Four Australians missing after devastating earthquake Australia aims to have a rescue team on the ground in Turkey by the end of the week, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says. Foreign Minister Penny Wong has also confirmed four Australians who were in the earthquake zone remain unaccounted for, declaring their safety "is our immediate priority". The federal government this week revealed it would offer an initial $10 million in aid, after a devastating earthquake ripped through Turkey and Syria.

May Allah bless Turkey and Syria & eliminate such disasters both man-man and natural calamities/disasters. This is mother Earth not Saturn & not Uranus. 'One Earth One Chance' - 'Peace on Earth; 'Save Earth'; 'Protect Earth'; 'Green Earth, Clean Earth'; 'Save Earth'; 'Avoid Pollution'- No more GreyGREAY Lines please.

Turkey deserves a great President not a ruler who served for 20 years.. isn’t that a big fat joke.. 20 years😂😂😂

Yes sorry my bros

to user-el2pe9t181: i wrote:" israel defense forces search and rescue units is there too. they also set up hospitals. praying for the victims of this tragedy" got a comment of " on no" from you. are you saying " oh no" i rather see these human beings die than have them get help from israel? please explain yourself.

will the donations be kidnapped by the criminals abusing the people in need urgent need? lets hope this needed help will reach those suffering.

YA ALLAH SWT GUIDE UMMAH TO PRAY 5 TIMES DAILY SALAH SALAH SALAH. RECITE QURAN SHAREEF DAILY . SEND DUROOD SHAREEF TO PROPHET MUHAMMAD SAW PBUH . DO NOT MISS SALAH SALAH SALAH

Dapat bilisan ninyo marami sir ma'am tulongn niyn Po Ang tukianian bilisan Po walng salita tulongn agad mga mayyman Jan tulongn ninyo tukianian people

Syrian refugees should not be called a burden , but a reason for Muslim humanitarian aid. The refugee burden was started by criminal forces in the so-called civilized countries.

The coming of the Lord is very near, dear all, repent and turn to Lord Jesus, you will be saved. God Bless you!

Thank you India and other countries and volunteer for your support.

I really don't understand why why and why you Aljazeera you not reporting about any team going to Syria 🇸🇾 to help them

It is a time for all particularly some of the Religious fanatics and countries promoting them to shed the hatred against others to see how the entire world come to Turkey and Sriya with the spirit of brotherhood to extend humanitarian aid to suffering people. So it is also a time to introspect and think above narrow interest to the entire humanity in oneness and maintain peace all over the world. Each and every individual should keep these ethoes to make the world a beautiful one. Human disastrous by way of wars is a shamful mindset inflicting the Innocent people as we witnessed in Ukrain. Whether a war or natural disaster are two sides of same valueless coins, one is beyoums our control to which we can not blame anyone, but both create destructions and loss of lifes and the cries of the suffering people will only bring very bad fortunes to those who engaged in wars. Let all brothers and sisters in the world take an oath that never be involved in any form of violence on others and use every opportunity to help each other to make this world a civilised peaceful place to live. 🌷🙏🏼

Condolences to who all affected...plz understand don't attack nature of god it will attack back and don't play with the real god..Turkey ;syria;lebanon was Christian countries...whatever educate your kids Christians and other religious people are your friends....not enemy....

Turkey needed emergency help all world help the turkey victims Pakistan zindabad 💕❤️❤️❤️🙏

Our Father in Heaven be with those who are calling for help in these regions, hear those crying and help them recover in Jesus holy name. Help us also to provide what we can give in your name. Amen
