The earthquake occurred at 4.17 a.m. As the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, we declared that our teams were on their way at 05.00. Then, at 06.41, we announced that water and food supplies were being prepared for the earthquake victims. At 7.16, we announced that our teams had reached the debris in Kilis and had started search and rescue operations.
In the initial phase, we despatched 26 distinct teams totaling 264 personnel and volunteers to the earthquake-affected area. As of right now, our 5,453 search and rescue personnel and aid volunteers are working tirelessly to heal the region's wounds.
While all these events were taking place, our IHH Chairman Bülent Yıldırım had already set off from Istanbul with the first light of the morning. Afterwards, he had visited to Adana, Iskenderun, Reyhanli, Idlib, Antakya, Kilis, Afrin, Gaziantep, Kahramanmaras, Adiyaman and Malatya 7 days. Our IHH RU-vid Team was also with our President Bülent Yıldırım to follow his coordination.
The "We were there!" documentary, through which you will witness emotional moments from time to time, is also a historical one! The documentary will allow you to witness the history.
