Help the survivors of earthquakes in Turkiye

Turkiye was hit by two major earthquakes yesterday: a 7.7 magnitude one at 04:17 and another with a magnitude of 7.6 at 13:24 local time, followed by dozens of aftershocks above magnitude 5.

The disaster affected 10 cities, collapsing more than 5,000 buildings including hospitals.

The cold weather, snowfall and damaged roads and airports are making it very difficult for rescue teams to reach survivors who are racing against the clock. For the injured and those without a home, there is a massive need for heaters, food, baby formula, clean clothes, blankets, pillows, boots and many other items.

I am going to donate all funds raised to a non-profit organisation in Turkey: Ahbap (Turkish for "mate") to support their rescue and supply operations.

As the first 72 hours after the disaster is critical for those who need help, the fundraiser will close within 24 hours, at 1:00PM 08/02/2023 AEDT. I will transfer the funds to Ahbap's TL account (IBAN TR120006400000110211380059). For more info about Ahbap you may visit https://ahbap.org/)
