#akut

Dear Folks,

As you may know, two major earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.6 and 7.7 occurred in Kahramanmaraş(aka. Maraş) in Turkey on the same day(February 6, 2023). Millions of people are affected in Southern Turkey and Northern Syria(aka. Northern Kurdistan). I am not exaggerating the number. The weather is deathly cold in these regions. Millions of people need a lot of tents, boats, sweaters, coats, blankets, and anything that can help against cold weather. Besides these, there are also food shortages. The government could not manage the situation very well. There are still people under ruins waiting to be rescued.

Dear Comrades All Over the World,

I am asking you to donate as much as you can to charity campaigns. Millions of people who survived the earthquake in Turkey and Syria really need your help. They are hungry, homeless, and freezing. I am pretty sure that my comrades around the world will do their best. Please donate as much as you can to the charity campaigns in Turkey below.

Correction(Feb 9, 2023):

I have learned that the following charity organizations are trustworthy to help people living in Kurdish areas. Please donate as much as you can.

AKUT: Akut is a non-governmental organization involving in searching, assisting and rescuing victims. They're very transparent in how they spend the donations, you can donate in so many currencies easily. (I added the link they accept donations in USD and EUR)

AHBAP: Ahbap is a sourcable local voluntary network and is active in affected regions. They rescue and help victims. They're really trustworthy. You can donate in USD, EUR and GBP.

AFAD: Afad is a governmental organization. Turkiye's official disaster and emergency management authority. I would recommend donating to AHBAP and AKUT more, but they're reliable too.

How much you can help?

Well, 1 EUR is 20,14 TRY; 1 USD is 18,82 TRY and 1 GBP is 22,71 TRY. They almost worth the same amount so I'm gonna speak generally.

With only 5 USD, you can donate enough money for:

2 blankets

13 loaves of bread

Almost 40 liters of water

Almost 6 pair of socks

Enough ingredients to cook for 3 days for a family

Almost 2 boxes of pad

A box of diapers

With only 10 USD, you can donate enough money for:

Winter clothes

Boots

2 powerbanks (people need battery so they can ask for help and communicate)

Bus and train tickets (so people can go to safer cities)

Some medical fees (most of them are free, but sometimes we need to pay for xray or medicines)

(I'm not adding so many things to not make this post so long, but the minimum wage in Turkiye is 450 USD, you can guess how much you can help with 50 or 100 USD)

There are so many people affected by earthquakes and with so little money you can make a big difference. You can help people getting shelter, food and things they need.

Turkey has declared a fourth level alert state after being hit with two major earthquakes . The "level 4" alarm condition includes an international call for help. A lot of people are still waiting to be saved, thousands are out in the streets in the middle of the winter, more than 6000 buildings are destroyed.

Please keep in mind that

1 $ is 18 ₺

1 € is 20 ₺

1£ is 22 ₺

However small your donation seem, it could buy someone a meal or a tent.
