I usually don’t use tumblr more than laughs and a few jokes and i have been treating here like that for the last couple of days, focusing mainly on twitter, but i wanted to talk here too. I feel like it’s needed. That is why i will use more tags than usual turkey-turkey earthquake tag, i normally hate these too, but this is urgent.
We are experiencing a disaster ranked 3 in WHO’s disaster ranking-the highest rank. 11 cities experienced not one but TWO massive earthquakes (7.7 and 7.6 respectively) this is a first in recent world history- the later earthquake is not an aftershock as you can see, but another earthquake. There are so many people needing help. The roads are broken, the help is slow. Even if the help gets through there is a MASSIVE need of material help like blankets and food. There is snow outside, people are freezing and starving. Mostly don’t even die from the impact or starvation, most freeze because we take too long to get to them or we lack materials to help. Doctors are there but have no serums, no water. We need help.
So please. Every donation, even a single penny helps. In here one dollar is 18 liras- (if the do the math, bread was 5 liras and 0.5 liter bottle water was 3 liras at the last time i checked) water plus bread is NOT EVEN 10 liras to buy. Even with one dollar, you help by giving one bread and two or even more water bottles, think how important more amounts would be. Not to mention euro and sterlin. One euro is 20 liras and sterlin is 22 liras. You would be helping a lot.
So, please, every help is necessary. Here are the donation links:
The AHBAP Charity is a very reliable Turkish singer and philiantropist Haluk Levent’s charity and is the most reliable charity available. Most other charities, unfortunately, steal half of the money. If you can donate here, please do.
Heres a more detailed explanation about ahbap charity.
AFAD, Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority
I will be adding more as i find more reliable urls because unfortunately, humanity is as low as trolling the ones who is in need by calling their number, kidnapping kids from the hospital, making up links to steal the money donated-all stuff my country experienced in this last three days. If you didn’t notice, it is hell.
There are currently 9.052 dead and 52.979 injured, it will only increase. Estimated numbers show at least 20k deaths. Thats twenty thousand lives lost for nothing.
So please. We need you more than ever.
