On Monday, organizers said more than 600 people answered the call to help, and they were able to send 20 pallets to Turkish Airlines. “They’re living in the car right now,” she said. But they can’t go anywhere because of the dangers of travel on damaged roads. ”They’re too scared to leave.” “I’m not focusing on the social media, I’m trying to focus on the organization and what’s happening here,” he said.
“One of my friends came and he took all the old ladies to his farm,” he said. “But they have no food, no electricity, no water and no heaters.”
