#Turkey Earthquake

[moonlayl]

The Death Toll of the Earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria may have reached 20,000 people, and that’s outside of all those who are injured and lost.

If you could donate PLEASE do!!!

Here’s a post full of charities you could donate to, but I’ll add my own trustworthy ones here:

Islamic Relief:  teams are on the ground right now providing emergency food assistance, shelter, medical supplies to hospitals and clinics, as well as blankets and tents for those made homeless by the quake in Turkey and Syria

Molham: The team at Molham are currently on the ground helping displaced families in Turkey and Syria who have been affected by the earthquake   

The White Helmets: The team are on the ground in Northwest Syria searching for survivors and removing the dead from the rubble.

MSF: remaining in close contact with the local authorities in northwestern Syria and with the authorities in Turkey to extend their support where it’s needed. They’re providing essential life kits to displaced people in the region

please PLEASE reblog. Syria and Turkiye need our help!!!

hey everyone. turkey has been struck by a very strong earthquake around four am. even now, many regions are being struck still. the weather is cold and snowy and people had to leave their homes. many people have lost their lives (edit: it’s been reported that the number is 1004 now (edit: more than 1500) (edit: more than 2000) (edit: more than 3000) (edit: 5434) (edit: more than 12.000 peope have lost their lives) (edit: more than 34.000 people have lost their lives) (edit: more than 40.000 people have lost their lives) (edit: more than 9000 injured people) (edit: 22.000 injured people) (edit: 31.777) (edit: more than 62.000 people are injured) and there are many people who are stuck under the wrecks (edit: number unkown) it has been reported that around two thousand buildings have collapsed and keep collapsing (edit: more than 9000) turkey has declared a fourth level alert state. the ‘’level 4’’ alarm condition includes an international call for help. if you can and would like to, this is the most reliable organization you can donate to:

(ps: akad and red crescent are not trusted by turkish locals. especially afad because they are lying about the help they send and the number of people. please refrain from donating to them. AHBAP is the most trustworthy organization that sends help immediately).

((please do not hesitate to contact me if you need help with the website/language while donating))

(((1€ and 1$ almost equal to 20 turkish lira. so even a little amounts means a lot to us.)))

((((it has been reported that around 194.000 people are under the wrecks and still waiting to be rescued))))

(((((people are sharing notices of victims who are still under the wrecks and waiting to be rescued on twitter ever since the earthquake and turkish government officially announced that they are banning twitter. this is the reason why we don’t want you to donate to afad and red crescent; they only listen to the government. they don’t care about the people.)))))

You know what makes my blood boil? Seeing people to say "Oh do not donate Turkey they will not help the minorities here" "The government deserved that"

Fuck you from bottom of my heart. All the lives we lost in these 10 city, all the lives STİLL waiting to be rescued under crashed buildings, all the voices say "Can anybody hear my voice?", are PEOPLE. Our people. No matter what they call theirselves Turk Kurd Syrian Muslim Ateist Christian they all causes same pain in our heart, all the soldiers, volunteers, the rescue teams of our own and the ones came from other countries works tiredlessly for everyone equally.

Just today 3000 people died. İf you cant understand what does that means, shut the fuck up.

Thank you all so much for sharing the first version of this post. We were able to send £500 to 5 families from my village! However, we still need to fundraise for medical costs, childcare (baby formula, nappies, medicine, etc.), food, shelter, and transport! My aim is to continue sending money to families in £500 increments and start sending out email updates to those that have already been so generous by donating.

The flash floods that hit the area a few weeks ago were devastating and the brook running through the village overflowed and washed away so much of the remaining debris uprooted relief tents that were able to reach the area.

So please continue to share, donate, and post this fundraiser on your own social media accounts! Make flyers and spread through word of mouth if you can! You can always message me to double check if you’re unsure about spreading the news. 

PLEASE SHARE, DONATE, AND SPREAD ACROSS YOUR OWN SOCIAL MEDIA AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN! Thank you for your continued support.

That's one way to adopt a rescue cat I suppose.

[lizablackthorn]

I want you to remember something when you donate. You may not care about 1 $ or 1€ or 1£ but in my country these numbers equals much more higher Turkish liras.

So please i beg you donate this institutions

My people needs your help. According to the latest updates there’s 20.213 people who lost their lives. And most of the cities are destroyed. Weather is extremely bad. Please don’t withhold 1$,1€,1£ from us. Thank you.

Being anti-sanctions is always a humanitarian issue but especially in times of disaster. Stop letting your governments starve people during a massive natural disaster cuz """democracy""" lol.

[koyunsoncizeri]

Again, finarfin. To distract me from doom scrolling!

(I'm sorry for using posts to share links and for gettin help.. this is the only thing I can do to help people..)

Calling out for help again. Donation link

We now call 1of the 10 cities that were destroyed the "de@d city". There are more dead people than those who are injured.. the city smells cuz of the cOprzes.. it will take so much to rebuild everything. Please consider donating... 10 euros is around 200 thrkish liras.Foreign currency helps more than you can imagine.

The stupid ass racist fucks who are happy about the earthquake and the deaths in Turkey, Syria and Lebanon, are a disgrace to humankind and I want to spit in all of their faces.

It's that time of year when you are going to see some "Irish" t-shirts in stores and can get your Shamrock Shake at Mickey D's. There will be St. Patrick's Day parades this weekend and next.

And I just want to be a nerdy know-it-all for a second. St Patrick's Day was originally a religious holiday (as most holidays were, holy + day = holiday); it still is in some places, like some actual Irish people from Ireland who believe in God--though the American parade/festival mentality seems to be gaining steam in some parts of Ireland, I am told.

St Patrick's Day as we know it is deeply rooted in the United States. Though it's been celebrated here since 1600 in the territory that became Florida, the tenor of the holiday greatly changed after the Great Famine of Ireland.

You may have been told in school that the famine occurred because a blight wiped out potato crops in Ireland. This is true but doesn't address the crux of the matter.

The blight started in North America and travelled to Ireland and into much of Europe. But we only think of it as an Irish problem because the Irish were too poor to eat other foods.

Some scholars have said it was a "man made crisis" and I agree that is true. Other crops in Ireland were not affected by the blight, in fact, this time was considered one of "plenty", but all that food was used to feed the English. Not the Irish.

Nor were the English quick on providing aid, "There is such a tendency to exaggeration and inaccuracy in Irish reports that delay in acting on them is always desirable," said Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel after initial reports of the catastrophe.

Workhouses designed to assist the poor and starving were closed prematurely. "The only way to prevent the people from becoming habitually dependent on Government is to bring the food depots to a close," said Charles Trevelyan, the man who was literally in charge of famine relief. He also said some gems like, Sure the famine is bad but "the moral evil of the selfish, perverse and turbulent character of the people" was the real problem. Great guy; he became a Baronet.

The soup kitchens, which replaced the workhouses were also closed prematurely, were widely believed to serve portions too small even for children and lacking any nutritional value due to them being watered down to feed more people than anticipated by the brilliant British government.

A million people died in Ireland from famine and disease and nearly 2 million left Ireland for other parts of the world. Including my father's family. (If they survived the "Coffin Ships" leaving their home.)

So when I said above that the tenor of the holiday changed, it was because of increasing Irish Nationalism and anger at Britain. Now, Ireland is a Republic (though it's not unified, yet) and we are proud of those who stayed and fought to make that happen.

We are also proud just to still be alive anywhere. The population of Ireland is 6.9 million now--slowly nearing the 8.5 million it was home to before the famine--but people with Irish ancestry across the world has been measured to be about 80 million people. Take that, Sir Robert Peel.

The English actively tried to kill us. Nevertheless, we persisted. A lot.

I hope you have a Happy St. Paddy's Day (it's Paddy not Patty). Drink some Guinness. Dance some jigs. Definitely eat some potatoes (Boil 'em! Mash 'em! Stick 'em in a stew!) But please remember that when people are starving, you should feed them. Don't be like the English government.

In fact, as I write this there is a crisis in Turkey and Syria. It just so happens that the Sultan of Turkey wanted to donate money to Ireland (10,000 pounds) but since Queen Victoria donated just 2,000, he was told it would be against protocol.
