Turkey Earthquake Help

A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Turkey’s eastern provinces.
A lot of cities have been affected and Turkey has officially asked for international aid. Given the economic conditions, timing (04:17 local time when everyone was sleeping at home), and freezing weather in the area, urgent help will be needed. Deaths are expected to be in the thousands & rescue efforts are just starting – with the next 48 hours being the most critical.

I am aiming to raise 15,000 EUR to donate to local & governmental organizations that are helping with the current rescue and aid efforts.

The focus will be to donate 1/3rd of the amount raised for the current rescue efforts (next 48 hours) and the remaining for supporting the people who are affected by this earthquake.

Money donated will be going to the following organizations – we might add a few more organizations that are also active in the area:

Akut (Search and Rescue Assoication) : https://www.akut.org.tr/en

AFAD (Disaster and Emergency Management): https://en.afad.gov.tr/
